[[Azur Lane]]'s personification of the German light cruiser [i]Leipzig[/i], the name ship of her class of two light cruisers. In-game, she can be unlocked by the player for normal build by limit-breaking the light cruisers [[Karlsruhe (Azur Lane)|]], [[Koeln (Azur Lane)|]], and [[Koenigsberg (Azur Lane)|]]. h4. History In real life, [i]Leipzig[/i] was the fourth light cruiser built by Germany after World War I as an improvement over the preceding [i]Koenigsberg[/i]-class trio with better main gun arrangement and armor. She served the pre-war years in goodwill cruises, training cruises, and neutrality patrols in the Spanish Civil War. When World War II began, she ran escort duties until she was torpedoed by a British submarine. Once repairs were finished, she was sent to provide fire support in the German invasion of the Soviet Union but otherwise spent most of her time as a training ship. In 1944, she was accidentally rammed (and nearly sliced in half) by [[Prinz Eugen (Azur Lane)|]] in foggy conditions and the damage was judged too severe for her to be fully repaired. Thus, she was only patched up sufficiently for one last mission: gunfire support and the seaborne evacuation of troops and civilians from East Prussia. Reaching Denmark a few days before V-E Day, she was retained by Germany as a barracks ship and scuttled in 1946. h4. Skins * [[leipzig_(storefront_training)_(azur_lane)|Storefront Training]] h4.
