Typenkompass Torpedoboote der kaiserlichen Marine

In keeping with its original task of German coastal protection, the Imperial Navy ordered u. a. about fast and torpedo boats. The main task of the German speedboats was to attack British monitors - warships in shallow coastal waters and on rivers. Thanks to their torpedo armament, torpedo boats were also considered an effective and relatively inexpensive method against large ships of the line. Eckhard Klien presents in this type compass all speed and torpedo boats that were used between 1872 and 1918 in the imperial German Navy.
