 The '''Hugin class''' was a set of small patrol boats designed for the post-war German Navy by a Norwegian designer. The two boats were ordered for evaluation since Germany decided to test a new hull shape different from their previous fast attack vessels, specifically designed to operate in narrow coastal waters. The two vessels were ordered in 1960 from the Norwegian company Båtservice Verft, of Mandal, that had already a decent experience with these sorts of designs. The experiment, however, failed and in 1964 the vessels were transferred to the Turkish Navy.
-It was introduced in [[Update "Fire and Ice"]]. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' works very well in most conditions at its BR, but it suffers from lack of armour, a mediocre armament and the fact that is very small. It will usually fight early destroyers and gun boats with far more powerful armament. However the Hugin is very fast, and has very capable mobility. The 40 mm Bofors L/70 model 1948 cannon has access to pretty capable ammo belts, a decently large ammo pool and enough penetration to deal with other torpedo boats and even heavier gun boats armed with more conventional cannons. Is a good idea sneaking through the coast and attacking unsuspected destroyers or frigates using your torpedoes, while using your good mobility to rush capture points at the start of the match.

Conserve your ammo and go for another target.

 During German rearmament in the Cold War era, the West German Navy, the ''Bundesmarine'', had built a number of fast attack vessels mostly based on previous designs of World War 2. However since the Cold War era introduced much superior technology, these vessels were very outmatched by Soviet and East German designs.
