Thanks, benihana!
The next one:
Floating naval base
The “Volksmarine” (former East German Navy) used floating naval bases for mine sweepers and fast patrol boats. Nine barges of this floating base type 62 were built from 1959 to 1961. They were decommissioned from 1984 on – some of them were broken, others were used for civil purposes.
These barges had no propulsion and had to be towed to their berths. There was space for up to 200 sailors. In times of war they could be armed with 2 × 25mm (0.98”) / L70 twin guns.
This waterline card model in 1:250 scale is published by MDK-Verlag, Germany.
Picture 2 shows an floating naval base and three type P-6 fast patrol boats.
