Re: Vaagso 27 December 1941
Glad to have been of help. It took me a while to find that appendix, too. Until then I'd got about as far as D = Dampfer (steamer) but some of the abbreviations for mines etc. totally defeated me.

Re: Vaagso 27 December 1941
Many thanks to you all - Nick, Steve, Leo, Larry. Flyvrak, Igor, Michel and richdlc!!
As a result of your efforts I have now been able to achieve my intention. Thanks again. Nick - I do have access to the Naval War Diary website - but failed to check! richdlc - I do have a copy of Francis' book - I purchased directly from him a few years ago - but was unaware of the relevant chapter! Now rectified. Still a few odds and ends to sort out, but getting there. Stay safe Brian |

it was not MS 23 (or a motor vessel) but - look at igorrB post above - NS 23. NS 23 / ELCH was a vessel of the B-Gruppe of the Hafenschutzflottille Norwegen Stavanger. Regards Darius |

Re: Vaagso 27 December 1941
Then NS 23 = Netzschlepper 23? An auxiliary vessel used to furl and unfurl submarine nets, strings of buoys, etc., across a harbor or fjord?

Re: Vaagso 27 December 1941
a) No, more active role, here in the structure in Norway:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komman...eeverteidigung https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komman...gung_Stavanger AvE put a list of vessels of the Flottille here: https://www.forum-marinearchiv.de/sm...?topic=33885.0 (NS 23 is there listed , too --> see attachements) Hafenschutzflottillen had a abbrivation for the area, they were used: https://www.wlb-stuttgart.de/seekrieg/km/hsfl.htm Their roles were harbour defence duties, picket service, escort of coastal convoys etc. b) The netleyers you mean were named NT (https://www.wlb-stuttgart.de/seekrieg/km/netz.htm). c) There were few mine destruction vessels (Sperrbrecher) with NS as name, but they served further south in the Channel area (https://www.wlb-stuttgart.de/seekrieg/km/spbr1-8.htm) Regards Darius |
