German torpedo-boat ''T-36'' was a torpedo boat built for the ''Kriegsmarine'' during the Second World War. Built by Schichau of Elbing, ''T-36'' was the last of fifteen Type 39 torpedo boats, sometimes referred to as the ''Elbing''-class. She was laid down in 1942, launched on 5 February 1944 and commissioned on 9 December 1944. ''T-36'' was assigned to general escort duties and stationed in the Baltic. In January 1945 ''T-36'' was involved in the aftermath of the ''Wilhelm Gustloff'' disaster. ''Wilhelm Gustloff'' was a passenger liner pressed into service as a transport for Operation ''Hannibal'', the evacuation of East Prussia before the advancing Red Army. As she was fleeing Gotenhafen, on the night of 30 January, crowded with German Navy personnel, servicemen and civilian refugees, ''Wilhelm Gustloff'' was torpedoed by the Soviet submarine ''S-13''. A number of ships attended, including ''T-36'', in order to search for survivors. ''T-36'' was able to pick up 564 survivors from the disaster, which claimed over 9,000 lives. ''T-36'' was mined off Swinemunde on 4 May 1945 and disabled. She was sunk the following day by a Soviet air attack. ==Notes== 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「German torpedo boat T-36」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
