G132-class torpedo boat

The G132 class of torpedo boats was a group of large torpedo boats built for the German Kaiserliche Marine in the early 20th century.

They were part of the group of 48 Großes Torpedoboot 1898 vessels which were Hochsee Torpedoboot ("High seas torpedo boat") built to varying designs by Germaniawerft and Schichau. The class comprised five ships: G132, G133, G134, G135, and G136. German torpedo boats were designated by shipbuilder; in the case of the G132 class, the ships were all built by Germaniawerft in Kiel, as denoted by the "G". All five ships saw active service, and were scrapped after the end of World War I, in 1921.

Armament
The first three ships of the class, G132, G133, and G134, were equipped with four 5.2 cm (2 in) SK L/55 guns in single gun mounts. These guns fired a shell that weighed 1.75 kg at a muzzle velocity of 850 m/s. The guns could elevate up to 20 degrees, at a maximum range of 7100 m. The last two ships of the class were equipped with two of the 5.2 cm guns and one 8.8 cm (3.45 in) SK L/35 gun. The 8.8 cm gun fired a shell weighing 7 kg at a muzzle velocity of 690 m/s. The gun could be elevated to 25 degrees, for a maximum range of 8790 m. All five of the ships carried three 45 cm (17.7 in) deck-mounted single torpedo tubes.
