Background

About the ship

In 1940 and 1941, several Type 1936B destroyers were laid down again. The new Type 1936A(Mob) was equipped with 150 mm guns. Z-31, the lead ship, entered service in April 1942. The destroyer participated in the Battle of the Barents Sea against the JW-51B convoy. In 1943, she participated in the raid on Spitsbergen, and in 1944, she was involved in the transportation of German troops from Finland to Norway. In January 1945, the ship was heavily damaged in a battle with British cruisers. After the war, she was transferred to France and renamed Marceau.
