SMS "Deutschland" was a German ferry commissioned as a minelayer during World War I. The ship served primarily in the Baltic Sea, including during the Battle of the Gulf of Riga. The ship was launched on 17 February 1909 at the AG Vulcan shipyard in Stettin. "Deutschland" was conscripted into military service as a mine layer, on 4 August 1914. The ship returned to ferry service after the war, but was again drafted into the German navy and renamed "Stralsund" in 1940, for participation in the abortive invasion of England. The ship fell into Soviet hands following the end of World War II, was renamed "Orion" and subsequently "Aniva" (Анива). The ship was eventually retired and scrapped in the 1960s.
