Background

About the ship

In the early 1940s, the construction of destroyers running on diesel fuel began. Type 1942 became the first in the series and served as the basis for Z-51, which was laid down in 1943. Later, Type 1944 arrived, fitted with increased firepower. Five destroyers, from Z-52 to Z-56, were laid down in 1943 at the Deschimag shipyard. However, bombardments by Allied forces, a lack of materials, and the need to build submarines led to the construction of these destroyers being canceled in 1944.
