Type 1936B Destroyer

Germany’s Type 1936B destroyers were wartime developments within the Kriegsmarine’s large destroyer program. Their armament and layout reflected revisions to earlier designs rather than the creation of a completely new naval category. They served during the later Second World War in a period of increasingly restricted German surface operations. The exact type designation matters because adjacent German destroyer programs used different gun arrangements and experienced different construction and service histories. Unlike some earlier large German destroyers fitted with 150mm guns, the type used 127mm main armament. Ships served in the Baltic and North Sea during the later war. They faced mines, aircraft, and surface threats while supporting an increasingly defensive German naval position.
