Type 35 torpedo boat

Torpedoboot 1935 The Type 35 and Type 37 Torpedo boats were small destroyers (German: Flottentorpedoboot "Fleet Torpedo Boat") built for the German Kriegsmarine between 1939 and 1942. They were designed to exploit a clause in the Washington Naval Treaty, which stipulated that ships under 600 tons standard displacement did not count towards limited tonnages. They did however grow in size to 845 tons standard tonnage. Their primary intention was to produce a seaworthy torpedo craft larger and more heavily armed than a  Schnellboot . These ships fought in the North Sea, English Channel and Baltic Sea. They were not considered very successful, their weak gun armament was disliked and the machinery was unreliable and difficult to repair. They also had relatively poor seakeeping and a weak bridge structure. {| class="toc" id="toc"
