German naval ship Mühlhausen
- German naval ship Mühlhausen
"Mühlhausen" was a naval ship in service with the German Navy. The ship was launched June 30 1966 at the Burmester Werft in Bremen with the name "Walther von Ledebur". She was a prototype of a new class of ocean-going minesweepers, which however was not accepted by the Bundesmarine. She was commissioned in 1967 and served with a civilian crew as a trials ship for the "Wehrtechnische Dienststelle" (Defence Technology Agency) until decommissioning in 1994. She had the pennant number A1410 and was categorized as a Type 742 class ship.
After her decommissioning the German Navy decided to convert her into a training and support vessel for mine-clearing divers. The rebuilding was done at the Peene-Werft shipyard in Wolgast and on April 6 1995 she was recommissioned as "Mühlhausen" (M1052) and classified as Type 742A ship.
After forty years in service, the "Mühlhausen" was decommissioned in 2007 and was replaced by the converted Frankenthal class mine hunter "Rottweil".
At the time of her decommissioning, "Mühlhausen" was the largest naval ship still in service with a hull made of glued laminated timber (mahogany).
