S.M.S. D 1 was one of two D 1 Class divisional torpedo boats completed for the Imperial German Navy.

Construction

Begun as D 2, she was launched on 19 December, 1886.[8]

Service

D 2 was commissioned on 27 April, 1887 and renamed D 1 on 1 August of the same year.[9]

In early 1897 and the spring of 1900, D 1 was the flagship of the III. Torpedobootsdivision (Reserve), an element of the I. Torpedoabtheilung based at Kiel.[10][11]

In May 1905 she became a station yacht in the Baltic with a large deckhouse built abaft her mainmast and was renamed Carmen. With the outbreak of war in August 1914 she reverted to warlike duties, serving as a coastal defense vessel in the early months of the war. Carmen was stricken on 2 August, 1921 and broken up at Wilhelmshaven for 142,000M.[12]
