History
The Flottenbegleiter F4 was used in the
2nd Geleitflotille after being commissioned. Put out of service in
April 1939 to be rebuild to a torpedo recovery vessel, but
reconstruction was stopped on 01.08.1940. It was then used as
experimental ship of the torpedo experimental commando until 1944
when it was attached to the 7th M-flotilla in the North Sea as an
escort vessel. Taken over by Britain after the war and broken down
in January 1949.
