"SMS Undine was the last member of the ten-ship Gazelle class, built by the Imperial German Navy. She was built by the Howaldtswerke shipyard in Kiel, laid down in 1901, launched in December 1902, and commissioned into the High Seas Fleet in January 1904. Armed with a main battery of ten 10.5 cm (4.1 in) guns and two 45 cm (18 in) torpedo tubes, Undine was capable of a top speed of 21.5 knots (39.8 km/h; 24.7 mph). Undine was initially used as a artillery training ship for the gunners of the German fleet. In November 1904, she accidentally rammed and sank the torpedo boat SMS S26 while on maneuvers off Kiel; thirty-three men were killed in the incident. After the outbreak of World War in August 1914, Undine was deployed to the Baltic Sea for use as a coastal defense ship. She was attacked by the British submarine HMS E19 on 7 November 1915 and was hit by two torpedoes, the second of which detonated the ship's ammunition magazines. Undine exploded and sank, but only 14 men were killed in the attack…"

Very nice touch is the 4.1-inch sponson plates being displayed in the open position. B |

Kniaz Suvorov, that's a great question. I hadn't noticed it before you pointed it out. Off the top of my head, with the tube going down into it reminded me of this:
