 * coal consumption by far exceeded design spec, this led to many engineering changes prior to commissioning
 * This should probably go in the class article - Sturm is reviewing that article for GAN. Does it give any specific figures or changes made?
 * according to HRS 17 ships of 76,609 GRT were sunk
 * 16 ships is the only figure I've seen, across Halpern, Massie, and Bennett. Do they give any specific information?

 * Added.
 * Köhler's widow later christened the light cruiser Karlsruhe of the Reichsmarine (page 89)
 * Added. Was she involved in the second Imperial Karlsruhe in any way?
