She was assigned to convoy escort and artillery support for troops on land until she struck a mine in April 1945. Z-43, the last survivor of the class was commissioned in May 1944 and followed her sisterships’ steps. In December 1944, due to bad weather, they entered ironically a friendly minefield and both struck mines with Z-36 sinking almost immediately and Z-35 a bit later. The ships were used for mine-laying operations, escorting convoys and bombarding Soviet positions. Z-35 and Z-36 were commissioned in September 1943 and February 1944 respectively. In total, 8 ships were planned but only 3 served during the war even though they had fairly short careers. The Z-44 was a never-completed Type 1936B destroyer from the Kriegsmarine. Is she worth that amount of resources? Does she bring anything interesting to the table? Here is my opinion on it. So… the Z-44 is getting released today for the price of 228 000 coal or 19 300 doubloons.
