Z9 Wolfgang Zenker was a Type 1934A-class destroyer built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine in the mid-1930s. Several days after the start of World War II, she unsuccessfully attacked, together with another destroyer, Polish ships anchored at the naval base on the Hel Peninsula. In early 1940 the ship made two successful minelaying sorties off the English coast that claimed six merchant ships. Wolfgang Zenker participated in the early stages of the Norwegian Campaign by transporting troops to the Narvik area in early April 1940. The ship fought in both naval Battles of Narvik several days later and had to be scuttled after she exhausted her ammunition.
Wolfgang Zenker had an overall length of 119 meters and was 114 meters long at the waterline. The ship had a beam of 11.30 meters , and a maximum draft of 4.23 meters . She displaced 2,171 metric tons at standard and 3,110 metric tons at deep load. The Wagner geared steam turbines were designed to produce 70,000 metric horsepower which would propel the ship at 36 knots . Steam was provided to the turbines by six high-pressure Benson boilers with superheaters. Wolfgang Zenker carried a maximum of 752 metric tons of fuel oil which was intended to give a range of 4,400 nmi at 19 knots , but the ship proved top-heavy in service and 30% of the fuel had to be retained as ballast low in the ship. The effective range proved to be only 1,530 nmi at 19 knots .
