R.S. Marshal von Reiber

R.S. Marshal von Reiber was (in Dutch: Marechal von Reiber) was a cruiser in the Royal Navy, built in 1889 (in Scotland) and in service until 1926. The ship was part of a class which included R.S. King Cristian and R.S. Count of Biancator.

Marshal von Reiber was involved in the only action of the Great War in Brunant. On 3 September 1916 the ship left port at Grijzestad to sail towards France, when she was hit by a torpedo from a submarine, believed to be U-34. She began to list to port but was able to drop depth charges and likely forced the submarine away. After radioing for help, R.S. King Cristian came to her rescue and towed the ship to port. Work began to repair her but structural damage to the hull was rather great and the government was unwilling to spend high amounts to fix her, so she was sold to an Italian company and scrapped in the spring of 1919.
