Ersatz Meteor
In 1938, construction began on a new ship to replace the old
Meteor, a modified gunboat of WW1. Like her predecessor, she would serve as a survey ship and also as fishery protection vessel. However, construction wise, she would be a minelayer. She was armed with three 105mm singles, two 37mm twins and two 20mm singles. She would have the capacity to carry around 170 mines. The ship was panned to be completed in 1940, but with the outbreak of the war, she was cancelled in October 1939. She was broken up and her materials used in other projects.
