It appears later, as Minenschiff ROMANIA passed to German 10. Sicherungsdivision (The 10th Sea Defence Division), formed in Jan.1944. Crew ?

Arms : 4x20mm, 80 mines. She served under german flag as : 03.1942, Wounded Transport Ship (Verwundetentransportschiffe), but no missions. 10.1942. S-boat Depot Ship (Schnellbootbegleitschiff) in the Crimea campaign (port of Sevastopol). 11.1943 Minelayer (minenschiff, minenleger). Spring of 1943, the minelayers Am.Murgescu and Romania lay several flank mine barriers before Sulina and in the Odessa bay. From russian sources : in the spring of 1942, the Germans took this ship from romanians and put her into operation, Dec.6th. From the end of 1943, she was used as minelayer. Enough rarely in sea missions. http://wunderwaffe.narod.ru/Magazine/MK/19...Pictures/24.jpg This post has been edited by Petre on April 04, 2011 03:37 pm
