Comments

• Franz von Hipper was its first commander. I think this is notable.
• Kaiser's Cup; a footnaote could help to understand what that was
• Could you add the crew size to the infobox?

• she was christioned by Alfred von Schlieffen see Hildebrand, Röhr and Steinmetz Volume 3 pages 211, 212
• according to Hildebrand, Röhr and Steinmetz Volume 3 pages 211, she was named after cruiser frigate Gneisenau
• sea trials between 26 March and mid July 1908 in the Baltic Sea, Hildebrand, Röhr and Steinmetz Volume 3 pages 212
