The ''A''-class torpedo boats were a class of German single-funnelled torpedo boat/light destroyer designed by the Reichsmarineamt for operations off the coast of occupied Flanders in the First World War. The A designation was to avoid confusion with older classes and designs. Six groups of vessels were built under the class between 1914 and 1918, increasing in displacement from 109 tons to 335 tons. All had a raised forecastle, shallow draught, and carried torpedo tubes amidships. == ''A1''–''A25'' == * ''A2'' and ''A6'' were sunk by British destroyers on 1 May 1915 during the Battle off Noordhinder Bank. * ''A3'' was lost in 1915. * ''A15'' was sunk by French destroyers on 23 August 1915. * ''A13'' was bombed in dock in 1917. * ''A10'' was sunk by mines in 1918. * ''A7'' and ''A19'' were sunk by British and French destroyers on 21 March 1918. * ''A1'', ''A18'' and ''A21''–''A25'' surrendered and were stricken between 1921-1922. * ''A11'' and ''A17'' were sunk during the Kapp Putsch in 1920. * ''A4'', ''A5'', ''A8'', ''A9'', ''A12'', ''A14'', ''A16'' and ''A20'' were handed over to Belgium as reparations, then decommissioned and scrapped in 1927. * ''A12'' survived both World Wars and was finally scrapped in 1948. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A-class torpedo boat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
