The SMS B 110, launched in 1915, was a German destroyer belonging to the B 109 class. These were large destroyers for their time, armed with six
550-millimeter torpedo tubes and four 88-millimeter cannons. They fought in Jutland and in other actions in the North Sea, the English Channel and the

shows the B 110 as she was in 1915, painted in black and armed with the 88-millimeter cannons that would be replaced in 1916.
