Thanks, mates!
Absolutely.

So far there are three more tenders I'm working on plus two maybes.

S-boot tender Tanga was essentially an enlarged Tsingtau. She was built for China but after Japan joined Anti-Comintern Pact the Kriegsmarine confiscated the ship. She survived the war and ended up in Denmark as a submarine tender A560 Ægir. She was scrapped in 1967.

Many thanks to Thiel for his drawing.

excellent

Very nice Thiel and WhyMe,very nice indeed.

Thanks.

These two torpedo boat tenders were laid down in Netherlands as Polish reefers "Lewant II" and "Lewant III". The Germans captured the unfinished vessels in docks in 1940 and in 1942 the construction was continued on a new project.
"Gustav Nachtigal" was launched in May 1944 and a month later got sunk by a British torpedo bomber.
"Hermann von Wissmann" was launched in December 1943, survived the war, and was taken over by Great Britain as "Royal Herald". In 1950 she was transferred to Belgium as the training ship A957 "Kamina".

Thank you, guys.
Nope. My main reference on the underwater hull was Kamina and I couldn't find one picture showing them. Considering they were laid down as merchants, it seems plausible.
