Very interesting and thanks for sharing. From what you say I guess this is a supply ship for float planes, lift it on board and refuel. 'constitutional hostile'?? is that the flag on the second picture? I cannot see it properly but guess its a swastika, and I know Germany has strict rules about displaying such things, but history is also important..... JT

Thank you, I do not follow you but as I shamefully have no knowledge of the German language I admire your effort in explaining in English.....

xfwspotter, perhaps, you can explain it in German and then maybe we can use google translate or another German forum member can explain to us. I am quite fascinated by these stories of the past.  |

Very interesting indeed! Thank you for sharing, spotterxfw! From the linked Wikipedia article I assume the main purpose of these ships was to recover planes that were downed on the sea, but in some proximity to the coast. Therefore, "Flugsicherungsschiff" might better be translated as "Aircraft recovery vessel". Also it is mentioned that many of these ships were designed in a way to allow them to function as mobile base for seaplanes - a kind of early aircraft carrier!  |
