History
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.
