SMS D 1

SMS D1 was a "division" torpedo boat of the Imperial German Navy, originally designed as a leader for torpedo boat flotillas. The ship was built by the Schichau-Werke shipyard in Elbing, Prussia, and was launched on 19 December 1886 and entered service on 27 April 1887 with the name D2. She was renamed D1 on 1 August 1887. In May 1905, the ship was renamed Carmen, serving as station yacht and fleet tender until the outbreak of the First World War when she was rearmed and used for coastal defence. Carmen continued in service until November 1919, and was scrapped in 1921
