Destroyer


Zerstörer 1936
The Zerstörer 1936 class were slightly bigger and improved to their predecessors, the Zerstörer 1934 and Zerstörer 1934A.
While these ships were under construction, none of the earlier ships was commissioned and therefore none of their design flaws got obvious.
It's interesting that most of the problems - especially those of the engines - were solved in this class of ships. The engines were much more reliable, the structural integrity was improved and they were much better seagoing ships. This was caused by the reduction of the top weight, the funnels were shortened and the height of the superstructure was reduced and the improved bow shape of the three last build ships.
Although 26 of this ships were ordered, only 6 were completed, while the other orders were modified to other designs. All but one ships were sunk at Narvik and formed the destroyer graveyard in the Norwegian fjord.

Zerstörer 1936A
After the construction of the new 15 cm gun in 1936, this gun was selected for the new class of destroyers, called the "Narvik" destroyers. With the biggest caliber used on board of the destroyer at this time, it was thought that those ships would have a tactical advantage over those with 12,7 cm guns.
For the first time on a German destroyer, the new ships should get a double turret mounted on the bow of the ship. Since the new turrets were not completed in time, the ships were commissioned with a single 15 cm gun instead and should have been refitted later.
The general design was similar to the predecessors, but several effords were made to increase the seagoing capabilities. The single rudder was replaced by a twin rudder and the bow section was modified. But when sailing through heavy seas, it soon got obvious that the new bow section was ill designed, and the ships took over too much water. This problem even got worse after the new twin turrets were installed and it took a very long time until it got clear that the new stern design had caused all the problems.
During the war, the surviving ships were refitted with additional Flak guns (Project name "Barbara") since the original armament proved to be not adequate.

Destroyer


Zerstörer 1936A (Mob)
After the start of World War II the construction of all new destroyers were canceled. Instead 12 additional ships of the Zerstörer 1936A class were ordered.
To save material and increase the constructions time, some slight internal simplifications and engine modifications were done. The 15 cm gun turrets were taken from the already ordered O-Class battlecruisers.
The engines caused less trouble than those of the previous destroyers but at the end of the war the remaining ships showed some heavy corrosion in the boilers and tubes.

Zerstörer 1936B
The development of the last German destroyer class of World War II was very confusing. Being first ordered as additional ships of the Zerstörer 1936 class, this later was changed to the Zerstörer 1938B design. Since development of these ships was stopped after the beginning of World War II, the ships should have been build as additional ships of the Zerstörer 1936A class.
As it got obvious that the 15 cm twin turret made the ships very unstable in heavy seas a modified version, the Zerstörer 1936 B was designed. Instead of the twin turret, the five projected ships got two single mounted guns and the Flak armament was increased. Besides this, the ships were very similar to those of the Zerstörer 1936A class.
Since they were only used in coastal waters and the Baltic Sea, the ships could not proof that they were more seaworthy than their predecessors.
ter the start of World War II the construction of all new destroyers were canceled. Instead 12 additional ships of theZerstörer 1936A class were ordered.
To save material and increase the constructions time, some slight internal simplifications and engine modifications were done. The 15 cm gun turrets were taken from the already ordered O-Class battlecruisers.

Zerstörer 1936C
Planed destroyers with 12,8 cm AA guns. Zerstörer 1936C Class
Soon after the start of World War II it got obvious that all existing German destroyers were not adequately protected against air attacks. Since the number of light Flak guns could not increased much more, a new main armament for destroyers, capable to be used against air and sea targets was needed.
In 1941 it was considered to use the new Luftwaffe 12,8 cm Flak 40 in twin mountings for a new class of destroyers.
The two ordered ships were modified Zerstörer 1936B designs adapted to the new armament. They were laid down in 1942 but not completed. Four additional were ordered in 1943, none of them was started to build.

Destroyer


Zerstörer 1938A/Ac
A planed class of big ocean going destroyers. Zerstörer 1938A/Ac Class
In 1937/38 the development of a big destroyer for Atlantic operation started. Being about 50% bigger than all previous destroyers those ships should be equipped with a mixed propulsion system like the one uses in the Light Cruisers of the Köln or Leipzig Class: Diesel engines for long cruises and turbines for fast combat operations. To protect the ships, even a light armor protection was projected.
Although the design was not very satisfying, 24 of this ships were projected for the Z-Plan , 10 should be build until 1943, the other 14 should be completed until 1945. Three ships were actually ordered in 1939 but canceled in 1940 without being laid down.
The development of the big destroyers continued and lead later to the design of the Spähkreuzer.


Zerstörer 1938B
A planed class of small costal destroyers. Zerstörer 1938B Class
At the same time as the development of the big destroyers of the Zerstörer 1938A/Ac class started, a class of small destroyers for operations in coastal waters, especially the Baltic Sea, started.
The ships could be compared to the British A- H-class destroyers build between the wars, but the very light anti aircraft armament was not adequate even at the time of construction.
In summer of 1939 12 of those ships were ordered that had to be delivered until 1945. But three weeks after the start of World War II, all ships were canceled and additional ships of the Zerstörer 1936A class were ordered.


Zerstörer 1942
The prototype of a diesel powered destroyer. Zerstörer 1942 Class
After the design of a new MAN diesel engine, plans ware made to build a single destroyer Prototype called Zerstörer 1942.
Its basic concept in armament and size was very similar to the Zerstörer 1938B, but the propulsion system was unique. The ships should have been powered by six diesel engines and equipped with three shafts (the other German destroyers only had two shafts). To increase the production time it was planed to install only four of the engines initially and refit the other two later.
The ship (Z 51) was ordered in 1942 laid down in 1943 at the Deschimag Shipyard in Bremen and launched on 02.10.1944. The uncompleted vessel was badly damaged by bomb hits on 21.03.1945 and broken down between December 1947 and February 1949.
One of the four engines build is now on display in the "Auto und Technik" Museum in Sinzheim, Germany.


Zerstörer 1944
Projected diesel powered destroyer for Atlantic operations. Zerstörer 1944 Class
Although the first prototype of a diesel powered destroyer (Zerstörer 1942) was not completed, the development of those kind of ships continued.
It was thought to be a bigger ship for Atlantic operations to support major Kriegsmarine ships. Several proposals were made which finally lead to the Zerstörer 1944 project. In addition to a heavy main armament, those ships had a increased Flak armament compared to its predecessors, including the new 5,5 cm AA gun which should have been introduced in 1945.
In spring of 1944 five ships were ordered, but none of them was started to build.


Zerstörer 1945
The last German destroyer designs of World War II. Zerstörer 1945 Class
Despite the war situation in Germany, even in 1945 the development of new destroyers was continued although there was never a chance to build additional ships.
The destroyer design "Zerstörer 1945" was build around an improved high pressure steam engine, in contradiction to the use of diesel engines in the previous design studies.
Armament and general layout was very similar to last diesel destroyer designs, the bigger air threads caused a massive increase of anti aircraft artillery compared to the pre-war designs.


Spähkreuzer
Huge destroyers to be used as reconnaisance cruisers. Spähkreuzer Class
Although called Spähkreuzer - Reconnaissance Cruiser - those ships were basically large destroyers capable for Atlantic Operations. Based on traditional destroyer design, several project studies started in 1938 to develop a large destroyer of the size of a CL. Like most German CLs, those ships were planed to get a mixed propulsion system, geared turbines for high speed and diesel engines for long cruises.
It was planed to use this ships in combinations of the new battleships of the Z-Plan in the North Atlantic where the Spähkreuzer should be the eyes of a larger battle fleet.
With the lessons learned by the first naval actions in World War II, the plans for the Spähkreuzer were modified several times, after the "Spähkreuzer 38" later designs were called "Spähkreuzer 39" and "Spähkreuzer 40" which had improved range, armor protection and a float plane on board.
The first three ships (SP1, SP2, and SP3, formerly named Z40, Z41, Z42) were ordered in February 1941 at the Germania Shipyard in Kiel. In December of 1941, the engines for the next three ships (SP4, SP5, SP6) were ordered too, but not the ships themselves.


Spähkreuzer SP1 - SP3
Only SP1 was laid down, but its construction planes were destroyed during a air raid. In April 1942, construction of all Spähkreuzer was stopped and the focus switched to the construction of normal destroyers.

TORPEDOBOATS


Torpedoboot 1923
The torpedoboats of the Raubvogel class were the first six torpedo boats build in Germany after World War I. Although still based on World War I designs, those torpedo boats were much bigger than their wartime predecessors and proved to be very unproblematic ships. For the first time, electrical welding was used for the hull to decrease weight. Since the World War I designs did not use geared turbines of a very high efficiency, the use of them in the Raubvogel boats was still experimental and turbines of different manufacturers were chosen.
Although those ships were almost ten years old at the beginning of World War II, they were successfully used at the Channel. During the war it got obvious that the ships were not very good protected against air attacks, but only a few 2 cm guns were added in the later years of the war. The surviving ships were equipped with Funkmeßbeobachtungsgeräten (FuMB = passive radar) in 1943 and Funkmeßortungsgeräten (FuMO = active radar) in 1944.

TORPEDOBOATS


Torpedoboot 1924
The Raubtier - class was a slightly improved Raubvogel class and build immediately after them. Although it was first intended to use 12,7 cm guns on those ships, they were finally equipped with a modernized 10,5 cm gun.
They showed the same pros and cons than their predecessors and were used in the same operational area. The ships got the same updates and improvements than their predecessors, the Raubvogel class.

Torpedoboot 1935
The Torpedo boats of the "Torpedoboot 1935" class were the first ships of this kind after 10 years. First designs for this ships were made at the end of 1933. Although officially called 600t ships, the ships were over 50% bigger.
Unlike their predecessors, those ships were a unsuccessful design. Because of a required high top speed, high pressure turbines had to be installed and proved to be as troublesome as those of the destroyers and heavy cruisers. Even worse, the small dimensions of those ships made it even harder to maintain or repair the troublesome engine system.
Their primary weapon system was the torpedo, therefore the concentration of a high number of torpedo tubes, only one 10,5 cm gun and the light Flak protection made the ships very vulnerable and not very useful in other tasks than torpedo attacks.
Caused by the need to keep the boats size blow the allowed 600 ts, first trials show that the light construction first made them very bad seagoing vessels, and it took up to the end of 1940 to solve this problem but even then their second offensive potential - the mines - could only be used during light seas. Some ships replaced one torpedo launcher with additional Flak guns later in the war, Funkmeßortungsgeräte (Radar) was only added in 1945 although passive radar detectors were refitted earlier.
Most of the ships were used for training submarine commanders in the Baltic Sea, some even were put into reserve status since there was no use for them during wartime.

TORPEDOBOATS


Torpedoboot 1937
The Torpedo boats of the "Torpedoboot 1937" class were a slightly improved Torpedoboot 1935 ships.
Although the pressure of its engines was reduced, the ships still were not very reliable at all. Like their predecessors, the unbalanced armament made those ships not very useful during wartime, therefore many of them were used for U-boat training.
Since the end of 1944, several ships were attached to the cruisers and Panzerschiffe operating in the Baltic Sea and were involved in shore bombardments.
