Balte

Among the old Norwegian torpedo boats that were captured by German troops after the invasion, was a group of four ships, based on a German Schichau design. The Norwegian Silid was scuttled by its own crew in May 1940, but raised and recommissioned by the Germans in August 1940 as Balte. Because of its bad maintenance state, it was decommissioned in July 1944 and scrapped in 1945.
