The Torpedoboot 7 ‘T7’ was one of a dozen Type 35 Torpedoboots. T7 was completed in 1939, but not combat ready until mid-1940 when she spent several months escorting Minelayers as they laid minefields in the North Sea and the English Channel. The boat participated in an abortive attempt to attack several convoys off the Scottish coast in November. T7 returned to Germany for a refit in January 1941 and then supported operations in the Baltic Sea. The boat was one of the escorts for several Commerce Raiders passing through the English Channel in late 1941 and then escorted German ships in Norwegian waters in mid-1942. She was briefly placed in reserve later that year and was then reactivated for service with the Torpedo School. T7 was sunk in an air raid in July 1944, but was refloated several months later. She was never repaired and was scrapped in 1947–1949.
