ww2dbaseGerman Type 1944 torpedo boats were ordered in 1944. Intended for general purpose duties, the nine boats, T52 through T60, were supposed to be constructed at the F. Schichau Danzig yard with a projected completion date of Sep 1946 and later. With the lack of materials and then the advance of Soviet forces, however, none of the keels were ever laid down.
