F-class escort ship

The F-class escort ships were a multi-purpose class of 10 fleet escorts built for the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) in the 1930s. During the Second World War, their unsatisfactory reliability and poor seakeeping abilities had them soon relegated to second-line duties in the Baltic Sea. Four ships were sunk during the war and the survivors were scrapped afterwards.
