I agree on the type of ship, I really cannot be sure which one though, and that the gun looks like the standard 10.5 cm. The question that occurs to me is what has happened with the eagle on the front of the bridge structure? there seems to be a lighter eagle under it that is clear on the upper left side and including the head, whilst the right side looks dark, almost like a covering. It doesnt seem to match the shadowing on other parts of the image and seems somewhat out of place?

Hello!
I thinks this is Romanian M-class destroyer - either Marasesti or Marasti.

It is difficult to ensure 100% but maybe you're right.

Any ideas about this ship?

hi,

norwegian SLEIPNER-class destroyer / torpedo boat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleipner_class_destroyer

possibly one of the four in German service during WW II, returned to Norway in 1945

Reported to be good ships, broken up in 1962 after 40+ years of service life

Hello!
IMHO this ship looks like Norwegian Otra or Rauma minesweeper (In German Navy - Togo and Kamerun). So, IIRC the gun may be 76 mm. Bofors.

Best regards, Aleks

a) J belive that gun is a 10,5 cm Uto C/16
b) not Norwegian Otra or Rauma
c) Otra and Rauma used the 76 mm L 28 Bofors AA gun , link :

Then, what ship could this be, from your point of view? She looks like specially built one and not mobilized.

Maybe an old torpedoboot T.15_? Some ships that class was in Norway. And they have 10.5 UTOF

hi,

going by the bridge form, I vote for a former "Minensuchboot 1916". Quite a number of them were re-built as training or trial vessels for the Kriegsmarine.

This one might be "Zieten" ex M 138 (later M 538 and a support ship for "Räumboote")
