German torpedo boat T-25

T-25 was a Kriegsmarine torpedo boat during the Second World War.

Along with the Narvik-class destroyer Z27 and her sister Elbing class torpedo boat, T26, were attacked by two British cruisers in the Bay of Biscay and sunk on 28 December 1943. Her survivors were rescued by U-505, which picked up 33 men;[1] U-618,[2] which saved 21 from Z27; and by the Irish merchantman MV Kerlogue, which saved 168, from all three, the day after the attack.[3]
