Background
About the ship
A Type 1936B destroyer Z-44 was laid down in 1942. Construction progressed slowly since the priority at that time was building and repairing submarines—Z-44 was launched only in January 1944. In the summer of the same year, construction of the Type 1936B ships was suspended for three months, but as early as July 29, Z-44 was sunk near the outfitting quay as a result of a raid by British bombers.
