Wacht-class aviso
The ''Wacht'' class was a pair of avisos built by the Imperial German Navy in the late-1880s; the class comprised two ships, and . They were laid down in 1886 and 1887 and completed by 1888 and 1889, respectively. The ships were based on the previous aviso, , which had proved to be an unsuccessful design due to its lack of torpedo armament. As a result, the ''Wacht''-class ships were equipped with three torpedo tubes to improve their combat power; they were also the first German avisos to carry armor protection.
Both ships served in the main German fleet for the entirety of their active duty careers. They were primarily employed in the peacetime routine of unit and fleet training maneuvers. In September 1901, ''Wacht'' was accidentally rammed by the ironclad during the annual fleet maneuvers. The collision caused serious damage to ''Wacht'' and she quickly sank. ''Jagd'' continued in service for another three years, after which she was withdrawn from service and used in various roles over the following sixteen years. She was sold for scrapping in 1920.
==Design==
The Imperial Navy began building small avisos in the 1880s to serve in the main fleet in German waters. These vessels were intended to support the battle line, and so unlike the contemporary German unprotected cruisers, their designs emphasized offensive capability and high speed rather than a long cruising radius.〔Gardiner, p. 249〕 The ''Wacht'' class followed the previous aviso, . The ship had proved to be a disappointment in service, since it carried no torpedo armament. As a result, the ''Wacht'' design returned to the torpedo as its primary armament like earlier vessels such as the .〔Gardiner, pp. 256–257〕
