German destroyer Z16 Friedrich Eckoldt
Z16 ''Friedrich Eckoldt'' was a built for Nazi Germany's ''Kriegsmarine'' in the late 1930s. It was named after ''Kapitänleutnant'' Friedrich Eckoldt (1887-1916), the commander of torpedo boat ''V 48'', who was killed when his boat was sunk during the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916.
At the beginning of World War II, the ship was initially deployed to blockade the Polish coast, but she was quickly transferred to the German Bight to lay minefields in German waters. In late 1939 and 1940 the ship made multiple successful minelaying sorties off the English coast that claimed 21 merchant ships. ''Eckoldt'' participated in the early stages of the Norwegian Campaign by transporting troops to the Trondheim area in early April 1940. The ship was transferred to France later in the year. ''Eckoldt'' returned to Germany in late 1940 for a refit and was transferred to Norway in June 1941 as part of the preparations for Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The ship spent some time at the beginning of the campaign conducting anti-shipping patrols in Soviet waters, but these were generally fruitless. She escorted a number of German convoys in the Arctic later in the year. ''Eckoldt'' escorted several German heavy cruisers at the beginning and end of their anti-shipping raids in 1942. She was part of a German surface fleet which attacked Convoy JW 51B on 31 December near the North Cape, Norway. After sinking the minesweeper , ''Eckoldt'' mistook the British light cruiser for the German heavy cruiser and was taken completely by surprise when the cruiser opened fire. The ship sank with all hands without returning fire.
==Design and description==
''Friedrich Eckoldt'' had an overall length of and was long at the waterline. The ship had a beam of , and a maximum draft of . She displaced at standard and at deep load. The Wagner geared steam turbines were designed to produce which would propel the ship at . Steam was provided to the turbines by six high-pressure Benson boilers〔Gröner, p. 199〕 with superheaters. ''Friedrich Eckoldt'' carried a maximum of of fuel oil which was intended to give a range of at , but the ship proved top-heavy in service and 30% of the fuel had to be retained as ballast low in the ship.〔Whitley, p. 18〕 The effective range proved to be only at .〔Koop and Schmolke, p. 26〕 The ship's crew consisted of 10 officers and 315 sailors.〔
''Friedrich Eckoldt'' carried five 12.7 cm SK C/34 guns in single mounts with gun shields, two each superimposed, fore and aft. The fifth gun was carried on top of the rear deckhouse. Her anti-aircraft armament consisted of four 3.7 cm SK C/30 guns in two twin mounts abreast the rear funnel and six 2 cm C/30 guns in single mounts. The ship carried eight above-water torpedo tubes in two power-operated mounts.〔〔 Four depth charge throwers were mounted on the sides of the rear deckhouse and they were supplemented by six racks for individual depth charges on the sides of the stern. Sufficient depth charges were carried for either two or four patterns of sixteen charges each.〔Whitley, p. 215〕 Mine rails could be fitted on the rear deck that had a maximum capacity of sixty mines.〔 'GHG' (Gruppenhorchgerät) passive hydrophones were fitted to detect submarines and an active sonar system was installed by the end of 1939.〔Whitley, pp. 71–72〕
