SMS Hummel

SMS Hummel was an ironclad gunboat of the Wespe class built for the German Kaiserliche Marine in the 1870s. The ships, which were armed with a single 30.5 cm (12 in) MRK L/22 gun, were intended to serve as part of a coastal defense fleet. Because Hummel was a purely defensive vessel, she saw little active use, apart from brief stints in active service for sea trials in 1882 and a short training period in 1884. The ship remained in the reserve fleet for the next twenty-five years before being struck from the naval register in 1910. Hummel was used in a variety of subsidiary roles, ending up as a floating anti-aircraft battery during World War II. She was sunk by Allied in May 1945, in the final days of the war.
