Naval Ship
A naval ship (or naval vessel) is a military ship (or sometimes boat, depending on classification) that is used by a navy. Naval ships are differentiated from civilian ships by construction and purpose. Generally, naval ships are damage resilient and armed with weapon systems, though armament on troop transports is light or non-existent. Naval ships designed primarily for naval warfare are termed warships, as opposed to support (auxiliary ships) or shipyard operations. Naval ship classification Naval ship classification is a field that has changed over time, and is not an area of wide international agreement, so this article uses the United States Navy general classifications. *Aircraft carrierships that serve as mobile seaborne airfields, designed primarily for the purpose of conducting combat operations by Carrier-based aircraft which engage in attacks against airborne, surface, sub-surface and shore targets. * Surface combatantlarge, heavily armed surface ships which a ...

R-boat
The R boats (''Räumboote'' in German, literally "clearing boats", meaning minesweepers) were a group of small naval vessels built as minesweepers for the ''Kriegsmarine'' (German navy) before and during the Second World War. They were used for several purposes during the war, and were also used post-war by the German Mine Sweeping Administration for clearing naval mines. Twenty-four boats were transferred back to the post-war German Navy (the ''Bundesmarine'') in 1956 and remained in service until the late 1960s. In 1954, the Indonesian Navy ordered 10 ships of a modified R-boat design (the ''Pulau Rau''-class) from Abeking & Rasmussen in West Germany. Design and construction The R boats were nine classes of motor minesweepers built for the Nazi German Navy (the ''Kriegsmarine'') from 1929 to the end of World War II. They had standard displacements ranging from 60 to 160 tons and were from 37 to 41 meters in length. Originally armed with one to two 20mm guns they were up-gun ...

Her sister ships were , , , , and . was built by the (Imperial Shipyard) in Kiel between 1891 and 1893, and was armed with a main battery of three guns. She served in the German fleet throughout the 1890s and was rebuilt in 1900 - 1902. She served in the VI Battle Squadron after the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, but saw no action. was demobilized in 1915 and used as a barracks ship thereafter. She was ultimately sold for scrap in 1919 and subsequently dismantled. Design In the late 1880s, the German (Imperial Navy) grappled with the problem of what type of capital ship to build in the face of limited naval budgets (owing to parliamentary objections to naval spending and the cost of dredging the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal). General Leo von Caprivi, the new (Chief of the Admiralty), requested a series of design proposals, which ranged in size from small coastal ...

MV Liemba
MV ''Liemba'', formerly ''Graf Goetzen'' or ''Graf von Goetzen'', is a passenger and cargo ferry that runs along the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. The Marine Services Company Limited of Tanzania sails her, with numerous stops to pick up and set down passengers, between the ports of Kigoma, Tanzania and Mpulungu, Zambia. ''Graf von Goetzen'' was built in 1913 in Germany, and was one of three vessels the German Empire used to control Lake Tanganyika during the early part of the First World War. Her captain had her scuttled on 26 July 1916 in Katabe Bay during the German retreat from Kigoma. In 1924, a British Royal Navy salvage team raised her and in 1927 she returned to service as ''Liemba''. ''Liemba'' is the last vessel of the German Imperial Navy still actively sailing anywhere in the world. ''Liemba'' is believed to be the inspiration for the German gunboat ''Luisa'' in C. S. Forester's 1935 novel '' The African Queen'', and John Huston's 1951 film version. The ship featu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Type 1934 Destroyer
The Type 1934 destroyers, also known as the ''Z1'' class or ''Leberecht Maass'' class after the lead ship, were a group of four destroyers built for the German Navy (initially called the ''Reichsmarine'' and then renamed the ''Kriegsmarine'' in 1935) during the mid-1930s, shortly before the beginning of World War II. The ships were engaged in training for most of the period between their commissioning and the outbreak of war, although they did participate in the occupation of Memel in Lithuania, in early 1939. '' Z3 Max Schultz'' collided with and sank a German torpedo boat shortly before the war began on 1 September 1939. All four ships were named after German officers who had been killed in World War I. '' Z1 Leberecht Maass'' fruitlessly attacked Polish ships during the invasion of Poland while her sister ships '' Z2 Georg Thiele'' and '' Z4 Richard Beitzen'' briefly blockaded the Polish coast. Later that month, the three sisters helped to lay minefields in the German Bight be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Type 202 Submarine
The Type 202 submarine was a short lived class of German submarines. Design of these very small submarines started in 1957 by Ingenieurkontor Lübeck (IKL). It was intended to build 40 Type 202 mini submarines with a six-man crew but technical difficulties and doubts about their usefulness reduced them to three, and of those three for trials, to be further reduced to two. The boats were in service only a few months and were scrapped shortly after. They were one of the few military U-boats not bearing "U-numbers", probably since they were never intended for combat use. Instead they were named after important German engineers in submarine constructions (like Wilhelm Bauer). ''Hans Techel'' was built with traditional propeller and rudders (similar to the Type 205 submarine The Type 205 was a class of Germany, German diesel-electric submarines. They were single-hull (watercraft), hull vessels optimized for the use in the shallow Baltic Sea. The Type 205 is a direct evolution of the ...
