SMS Basilisk

SMS Basilisk 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 Basilisk was a purely defensive vessel, she saw little active use, apart from brief stints in active service for sea trials upon completion in 1880, and then again in 1881. The ship remained in the fleet's inventory until 1910, when it was discarded. She was eventually sold to ship breakers in 1919 and dismantled the following year.
