The '''Type 720 ''Helgoland''-class tugs''' are large seagoing salvage tugs used by the [[German Navy]]. After the decommissioning of ''Helgoland'', the class is now referred to as the '''''Fehmarn'' class''' in the German Navy. As with other auxiliary ship classes in Germany, these tugboats are crewed by civilians.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marine.de/portal/a/marine/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLNzKOD_RxBMmB2d5mIfqRcNGglFR9X4_83FR9b_0A_YLciHJHR0VFAGR0uE8!/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvd0ZNQUFzQUMvNElVRS82XzIzX1FRUQ!! |title=''Bergungsschlepper FEHMARN-Klasse (720)'' |publisher=German Navy |access-date=5 August 2008 |language=German |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080615192815/http://www.marine.de/portal/a/marine/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLNzKOD_RxBMmB2d5mIfqRcNGglFR9X4_83FR9b_0A_YLciHJHR0VFAGR0uE8%21/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvd0ZNQUFzQUMvNElVRS82XzIzX1FRUQ%21%21 |archive-date=15 June 2008 }}</ref> The ships are named after the [[:Category:Islands of Germany|German islands]] Helgoland ([[Heligoland]]) and [[Fehmarn]].
