History

Cremon was a fishing trawler built by Reiherstieg Schiffswerfte & Maschinenfabrik A.G., Hamburg in 1922 for the Deutsche Hochsee-fischerei Bremen-Cuxhaven. Her port of registry was Cuxhaven and the Code Letters RDGJ were allocated.[1] In 1934, her Code Letters were changed to DHEM.[3]

Cremon was requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine on 1 October 1939.[4] She served as an auxiliary patrol boat during the early years of World War II in the 1 Vorpostenflotille, specifically serving off Norway immediately after the German invasion there. During the invasion, Norwegian minelayers frantically mined the harbors that German ships would soon occupy. One of these minelayers, Шаблон:HNoMS, laid over twenty mines between Lerøy Island and Sotra and around Vatlestraumen. Since no minesweepers were available in the area, the two support vessels Шаблон:Ship and Cremon were outfitted in mine clearing gear and sent to clear the area of mines. Schiff 9 struck a mine and sank in less than two minutes, and when Cremon moved to rescue survivors she too struck a mine and exploded. Around six of her crew were killed, five survived.[5][6][2]
