When was the navy that was donated the LKL "Kursis" (M51) by Germany established?
LKL Kuršis (M51) LKL "Kursis" (M51) is a minehunter of the Lithuanian Naval Force. Built in West Germany in 1958 as "Marburg" (M1080), a "Lindau"-class (or Type 320) minesweeper for the German Navy, she was upgraded to a Type 331 minehunter in the 1970s. Germany donated "Marburg" in 2001 to the Lithuanian Naval Force, which renamed the ship "Kursis". The vessel augmented the Squadron of Mine-hunters, which had been established in 1999 with the similar donation of sister ship "Koblenz", which became "Sūduvis" (M52) .
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.
