When was the navy that was donated the LKL "Kursis" (M51) by Germany established?
Lithuanian Naval Force The Lithuanian Navy is the naval arm of the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Though formally established on 1 August 1935 its roots stretch back as far as naval engagements on the Baltic Sea in the Medieval period. Lithuanian naval units saw some service with Soviet naval forces during World War II, and the navy has been re-established in its own right and continues to expand since Lithuania's independence in 1990.
Kaiserliche Werft Danzig Kaiserliche Werft Danzig was a German shipbuilding company founded in 1852 as "Königliche Werft Danzig" and renamed "Kaiserliche Werft" after the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871. Together with Kaiserliche Werft Kiel and Kaiserliche Werft Wilhelmshaven it was one of three shipyards responsible for maintenance, repair and construction of warships for the Imperial German Navy. "Kaiserliche Werft Danzig" closed in 1918 after the end of World War I, but soon opened when Danziger Werft was founded on its site in 1919.
