Schnellboot S-100 is the collective name for a class of German torpedo boats from the Second World War. Units of this type were built in the years 1943-1944. Their length was approx. 34.9 m, with a standard displacement of approx. 93 tons. The maximum speed was 42-43 knots. The armament of units of this type varied widely, but most often consisted of 2 533 mm torpedo tubes with four torpedoes, 3 or 4 20 mm cannons, and a single 37 mm or 40 mm cannon.

The German Navy was working intensively on the development of torpedo boats already during World War I, and this work - slowed down by the defeat in 1918 - was continued at the turn of the 1920s and 1930s. Their fruit was the appearance in 1930 of the first modern, for that time, S-1 torpedo boat, and a year later (1931) the production of S-2 class units (5 units in total). Further, quite long, but intensive development of this type of units led to the creation of the S-100 class (German: Schnellboot S-100). Vessels of this class had a very high marching speed and the maximum, with their size - good seagoing performance, and most of all they were relatively heavily armed. It is worth adding that it was probably the most numerous class of German torpedo boats from 1939-1945. S-100 class torpedo boats operated in many areas: from the Mediterranean, through the Black Sea, to the Baltic and North Seas. It is estimated that in the period 1943-1945 they sank or seriously damaged about 40 enemy ships and about 100 merchant ships.

SV Christian Radich was and is a Norwegian three-masted school frigate, which was launched in February 1937 at the Framnaes Mekaniske Vaerksted shipyard in Oslo. The length of the ship's hull is 62.5 meters with a width of 9.7 meters. The displacement is around 1,050 tons and the maximum speed is around 14 knots. The auxiliary power unit is currently Caterpillar diesel engines with a capacity of 850 HP.

From the very beginning, the SV Christian Radich frigate was designed and built as a training sailing ship for the Norwegian Merchant Navy. Its constructor was the naval captain Christian Blom, and owes his name to the Norwegian sailor Christian Radich, who in his will donated his funds for the construction of such a ship. The unit made its maiden voyage in 1937, and in 1940 it was confiscated by the German Kriegsmarine. The ship was sunk in northern Germany as a result of a bombing in 1945, but two years later it was lifted from the bottom and restored and returned to Norway. The unit is still in service.
