Spodziewany sukces tego okrętu, któremu po odesłaniu krążowników liniowych na Morze Północne alianci nie bardzo mieli by co przeciwstawić, może stanowić podstawę do zaprojektowania znacznie powiększonej jego wersji – w postaci „mojego” Laudona prezentowanego w poście z 13 grudnia ;)
Na koniec zwrócę uwagę na patrona okrętu – którym jest cesarki feldmarszałek z czasów wojny trzydziestoletniej Gottfried von Pappenheim (1594-1632), znakomity dowódca kawalerii, wyróżniający się w wojnie podjazdowej – myślę że pasujący jak ulał do zadań okrętu.
