Fehmarn-class tug explained
The
Type 720 Helgoland-class tugs are large seagoing salvage tugs used by the
German Navy. After the decommissioning of
Helgoland, the class is now referred to as the
Fehmarn class in the German Navy. As with other auxiliary ship classes in Germany, these tugboats are crewed by civilians.
[1] The ships are named after the German islands Helgoland (
Heligoland) and
Fehmarn.
