Notes

Seized by the Germans on August 29, 1943, and commissioned by the German "Kriegsmarine" as a naval tender, named SLEIPNER.

Sunk in Kiel during an allied air raid. The wreck was later salvaged and towed to Heikendorfer in the Kieler Fjord. The wreck was taken over by the Danes in 1945, but refitting was abandoned.
