The Type 745 Stollergrund-class multi-purpose ship was a class of multi-purpose ships built for the Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 71 (WTD 71) of the German Navy in Eckernförde and the Marinearsenal Wilhelmshaven. Three units are still in use for the WTD 71, the other two boats were sold to the Israeli Navy.
Development
As a replacement for older test and support vehicles, five small test boats (designation according to the list of ship numbers) were commissioned from Fr. Lürssen Werft as general contractor on 23 October 1987. The Stollergrund class is derived from the {{sclass|Schwedeneck|multi-purpose ship|4}} and was also built as a subcontract at the Kröger shipyards and the Elsflether shipyards.
The hull is made of steel and divided into eight compartments by seven bulkheads. For better maneuvering, cross-thrust steering systems are installed in the fore and aft. The boats are versatile and take the necessary equipment on board in two containers. Fixed equipment includes a ship's crane and accommodation for embarked personnel.{{Cite web|date=8 June 2016|title=MPV Type 745|url=https://luerssen-defence.com/english-luerssen-mpv-typ-745/|access-date=15 September 2021|website=Lürssen Defence {{!}} Lürssen Shipyard - german quality-shipbuilding|language=en-US}}
