A completely different cruiser of the same name appears in the authors earlier novel 'Rendezvous - South Atlantic' (1972). That ship appeared to be a heavy cruiser similar in visual appearance to a Scharnhorst Class Battleship in the same way that the Admiral Hipper's resembled the Bismark Class of Battleship.
