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.
German submarine U-530 German submarine "U-530" was a Type IXC/40 U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. She was laid down at the Deutsche Werft in Hamburg on 8 December 1941 as yard number 345, launched on 28 July 1942 and commissioned on 14 October 1942 with "Kapitänleutnant" Kurt Lange in command, who led her in six patrols. Lange was replaced in January 1945 by "Oberleutnant zur See" Otto Wermuth, who led her escape to Argentina after Germany's surrender. The submarine's voyage to Argentina led to many legends, apocryphal stories, and conspiracy theories that together with "U-977" it had transported escaping Nazi leaders and/or Nazi gold to South America, or even that it would be involved in the sinking of Brazilian cruiser "Bahia" as the last act of the Battle of the Atlantic.
