Type 1936-class destroyer

The Type 1936-class destroyers were destroyers of the German Kriegsmarine, used during World War II. These 6 ships were improved and enlarged versions of the 1934 and 1934A classes. Despite the serious faults of the earlier ships not being apparent when these were in design, they had been resolved. Engine reliability and the structural integrity was much improved and they were much better seagoing ships, shipping much less water through an improvement in the design of the bows.
