Tsingtau is a German torpedo boat base from the interwar period and World War II. The keel for the vessel was laid in 1933, the launch took place in 1934 - in the same year the ship entered the line in Kriegsmarine. The length of the ship was 87.5 meters, width 13.5 meters, and the draft was 4 meters. Full displacement reached 2,490 tons. The drive was provided by two MAN diesel engines, allowing a top speed of 17.5 knots. The ship's armament consisted of 2 88 mm cannons and 4 to 8 20 mm cannons. Tsingtau arose on the wave of remilitarization of Germany after Adolf Hitler and the Nazis took power in this country. Its main task was to provide broadly understood supplies and to act as a floating logistic base for German torpedo boats (the so-called Schnellboots). In the period up to the beginning of 1940, she was assigned to the 1st Torpedo Flotilla, but in the same year she also acted as a training ship. At the end of 1940, she is ferry to Rotterdam, where she is the mother ship for the 6th, 7th and 8th Flotilla. In 1945, Tsingtau is based in Hamburg, where he happily lived to see the end of World War II. After the war, the unit was seized by the British who quickly returned it to the Germans. Tsingtau remained in service until 1950.
