The
German destroyer Wolfgang Zenker went down outside Narvik
13.April 1940 after she had run out of ammunition and fuel
after fighting against the British forces. She was part of
the German Kriegsschiffgruppe 1 under Operation Weserübung
in April 1940. Under the second naval engagement she tried
to attack the British battleship HMS Warspite with
torpedoes together with the destroyers Hans Ludemann and Bernd Von Arnim, but had to abort
the attack because of heavy enemy fire. After this she sat
course for the Rombakfjord and the crew scuttled her
shortly afterwards. The wreck rest today in Rombaksbotten
on a depth of approx 10 to 16 meter.
