The Z25 was a German destroyer, the keel of which was laid in 1939 and launched in March 1940. The destroyer entered the rope service in the German Navy (German Kriegsmarine) in November 1940. The ship was 127 meters long, 12 meters wide, and had a full displacement of 3,600 tons. Destroyer Z25's maximum speed was 36 knots! The main armament at the time of launch was 5 150 mm guns in two twin and one single turret, and the secondary armament was: 4 37 mm cannons, 5 20 mm cannons and 8 533 mm torpedo tubes and mines.

The Z25 was the third ship of the Narvik or 1936A class. These types of destroyers were an extension of the Type 1936 destroyers. The main changes were to strengthen the armament and replace the main artillery from 127 mm cannons with 150 mm cannons. Sea performance has also been slightly improved and the swimming range has been slightly extended. The result was a series of large destroyers that could, under favorable conditions, engage in combat with Allied light cruisers or French large destroyers. Initially, immediately after entering service, the Z25 covered German heavy ships returning to their bases in Norway after the Atlantic raids. From July to September 1941, he served in the Baltic Sea against possible attempts by the Soviet fleet to leave Leningrad. In December 1941-January 1942 he returned to Norway again, but in February 1942 he returned to Germany to take part in Operation Cerberus. From the end of March to November 1942, he served in Norway again, fighting the Allied and Soviet Arctic shipping. He returned there in March 1943. From February 1944, the destroyer Z25 operated in the Baltic Sea, acting against the Soviet Baltic Fleet and the Red Army in the coastal zone. In March 1945, the Z25 operated in the Gulf of Gdañsk region. The destroyer survived the war, then it was handed over to the British, who in turn handed it over to the French Navy. The vessel was scrapped in the late 1950s.
