Home > Merchant raider


 

Merchant raiders are ships which disguise themselves as noncombatant merchant vessels, whilst actually being armed and intending to atttack enemy vessels. Germany used several merchant raiders early in World War I, and again early in World War II. Eventually most were sunk or transferred to other duties. Italy used four "Ramb" class ships as raiders in World War II.
