Design and construction
Hobein was built in 1937 at Deutsche Werke in Kiel, Germany.[3] She was originally named Dornbusch and served in the Kriegsmarine as navigational training ship for the Luftwaffe.[1][2] After transferring to the Netherlands and entering service in the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) in 1948, she was used as a training ship for midshipmen.[1] Hobein had a displacement of 132 tonnes (130 long tons) and a complement of ten.[1] When it came to measurements she had a length of 28 metres (91 ft 10 in), a beam of 5.5 metres (18 ft 1 in) and a draught of 1.71 metres (5 ft 7 in).[4] Furthermore, Hobein was equipped with a DMW diesel engine that could produce 250 brake horsepower (190 kW), which allowed her to reach a maximum speed 9 knots (17 km/h; 10 mph).[1][5] As armament she had a single 40-millimetre (1.6 in) gun and a single 20 mm (0.79 in) gun.[6]
