HMS Weser

HMS Weser was a German merchant ship seized by the Royal Navy during the Second World War and subsequently commissioned as a warship. Specifically, she was one of a number of German merchant vessels captured early in the war and converted for British service.

Details of her wartime role, such as the exact type of warship she was converted into (e.g., auxiliary patrol vessel, depot ship, etc.), and her service history are often scarce and may require further research in naval archives and specialist publications. The name Weser itself refers to a river in Germany. After the war, she would presumably have been returned to her original owners or otherwise disposed of. Further information on her pre-war and post-war life is equally difficult to find without specific documentation.
