T-22

In the 1920s, several series of destroyers were built for the Reichsmarine. The first of them were, in fact, improved versions of destroyers that dated back to the times of World War I. Their further development came in the form of Type 39, which was built as a multipurpose ship with a smaller displacement. A total of 15 ships were built, with lead ship T-22 entering service in February 1942. In 1942 and 1943, the ship participated in patrol operations in the Bay of Biscay and the Battle of Sept-Îles, where she sank HMS Limbourne. In June 1944, she was transferred to the Baltic. Later, in August, the ship struck mines in Narva Bay and sank.
