career
After the end of the First World War, the boat initially served in the Reichsmarine in mine search and clearance. From November 15, 1925, it served as a distance measuring tender and disc tug for the Ship Artillery School (SAS). On June 2, 1928, it was renamed Delphin . (The previous artillery dealer named Delphin was decommissioned on November 15, 1925 and sold in 1926.) In 1936 it was modernized and converted, and from October 24, 1936 it was used as an anti-aircraft school boat for the anti-aircraft and coastal artillery school. On October 1, 1940, it was renamed M 508 and used again in mining operations. When the previous leader boat of the 36th Minesweeping Flotilla ( M 3600 , ex Jacques Coeur ) sank after being hit by a mine on September 17, 1943 , the M 508 was soon designated as the new leader boat of this flotilla operating off the Dutch coast and accordingly renamed the M 3600 . In 1945 the flotilla moved to the Baltic Sea, with a base in Warnemünde . On July 27, 1945, the boat came to the German Minesweeping Administration ( German mine clearance service ), but was then delivered to the Soviet Union on November 17, 1945 . How long and in what functions the boat served there is not known.
