SMS Vineta

Seiner Majestät Schiff "Vineta" was a German protected cruiser built for the Kaiserliche Marine in the late 1890s. "Vineta" was built in the Imperial Dockyard in Danzig. She was laid down in 1895, and completed in Sept. 1899, at a cost of 10,714,000 Marks.

Design

Dimensions and machinery

"Vineta" was 358 feet 3 inches long at the waterline, and had an overall length of 363 feet 2 inches. She had a beam of 57 feet 2 inches and a draught of 22 feet 9 inches. "Vineta" displaced 5,660 tons on a standard load, and 6,491 tons fully loaded. The ship was powered by three shaft triple expansion engines, that produced 10,000 ihp and delivered a top speed of convert|19.5|knot|km/h|1.

Between 1905 and 1911, the ships of the "Victoria Louise" class were modernized. The ships had their boilers replaced, and had their original three funnels reduced to two stacks.

Armor and armament

"Vineta" was protected by 4 inch thick armor plating on the decks. The ship was armed with a wide mix of armaments. The main armament consisted of two convert|8.2|in|mm|0|sing=on guns mounted in single turrets fore and aft. The secondary armament comprised eight convert|5.9|in|mm|0|sing=on guns in casemates along the length of the ship, along with ten convert|3.4|in|mm|0|sing=on guns, also casemated. The ships were also armed with three convert|17.7|in|mm|0|sing=on torpedo tubes.

ervice history

Like her sister ships, she started the war in a coastal defense role. By November 1914, she was withdrawn from frontline duties and became a barracks ship. In 1916, "Vineta", along with her sisterships, had her armaments removed. She served in this capacity until the end of the war. In 1920, "Vineta" was sold for scrap.
