Project history

Designated 'Schnellboot 55' by Lürssen Werft, Vegesack, these composite-built units belonged to the Type 140/141. The only difference between the classes was in the choice of engine. This type was a further development of the well-known wartime 'S-boats' of the Kriegsmarine, but incorporating the latest advances.

The boats could carry mines, when the aft TTs were removed, the minerails being fixed on deck.
