SMS Albatross

From Warlike




SMS Albatross was a steam gunboat, the lead ship of the Albatross class, which were built for the German Kaiserliche Marine in the late 1860s and early 1870s. The ship was ordered as part of a construction program intended to begin replacing the old Jäger-class gunboats that had been built a decade earlier. Unlike the older ships, Albatross was intended to serve abroad to protect German economic interests overseas. The ship was armed with a battery of four guns, and had a top speed of 10.5 knots.
