User:Nigel Ish/Sandbox German torpedo boat TA25

The German torpedo boat TA25 was an Ciclone-class torpedo boat operated by the German Kriegsmarine during the Second World War. The ship was built for the Italian Navy by the shipbuilder Cantiere navale di Riva Trigoso with the name Intrepido from 1942, but was incomplete when Italy surrendered to the Allies in September 1943, and was seized by Nazi Germany. The ship entered service as TA25 in 1944, serving in the Tyrrhenian Sea and was sunk by American PT Boats on 21 June 1944.

Design and construction
The Ciclone-class was an enlarged version of the Orsa-class torpedo boat, intended for escort duties on the supply routes to North Africa, with 16 ships laid down from 1941 to 1942.
