The torpedo boat G 135 was a part of the Imperial German Navy's fleet of ocean-going torpedo boats, constructed by Germaniawerft in Kiel. These vessels, including G 135, were integral to Germany's naval operations during World War I, designed for high-speed torpedo attacks against larger ships. They featured a displacement of about 310 tons, a length of 62.7 meters, and could achieve speeds up to 27 knots. Armament typically included three 5 cm SK L/40 guns and three 45 cm torpedo tubes, making them formidable for their intended hit-and-run tactics against enemy fleets [oai_citation:1,Torpedo-boats of the German Navy (1871–1919) - [oai_citation:2,German ocean-going torpedo boats and destroyers of World War I - the war, the G 135 and its sister ships played significant roles in major naval engagements such as the Battle of Jutland, operating in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea despite the British naval blockade. These boats were tasked with a variety of missions, including escort duties, mine-laying, and surface patrols, demonstrating their versatility and strategic importance. The evolution of these vessels reflected Germany's ongoing efforts to enhance their naval capabilities, adjusting armaments and designs to meet the demands of modern naval warfare [oai_citation:3,Torpedo-boats of the German Navy (1871–1919) - [oai_citation:4,V25-class torpedo boat -
