List of names of German warships (A – M)
- Part II: See: List of names of German warships (N – Z)
The list of names of German warships includes all ships of the following navies:
- Naval forces of the German Confederation including the provisional central authority from 1848/49 and all sub-states including Austria until 1866
- Navy of the North German Confederation
- Armed forces of the German Reich from 1871 to 1945 ( Imperial Navy , Reichsmarine , Kriegsmarine , Luftwaffe of the Wehrmacht )
- German maritime associations 1945–1956
- Federal Navy and German Navy , as well as seagoing vehicles from other Bundeswehr agencies
- People's Navy including the 6th Coastal Border Brigade and the Maritime Hydrographic Service (SHD), but without vehicles from the Society for Sport and Technology
The names are listed in alphabetical order without taking prefixes (e.g. SMS) into account. If the list becomes too long, it will be split up.
For each name there is a heading (bold), including the individual namesake in the order in which the name begins. As far as this makes sense, names with several components are listed twice (e.g. Fürst Bismarck under F and B ).
The following are given: Name , period of name use in the naval forces mentioned, type, class, navy. Further details go beyond the list and should not be included here.
