Nea Genea (Template:Langx, "New Generation") was a destroyer that served in the Royal Hellenic Navy from 1912–1919. She was originally the German destroyer V-6.
Service
The ship, along with one of her six sister ships of V-class destroyers, Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., was ordered from Germany. They were purchased before entering service in the German Navy, from the German shipyard Vulcan AG in Stettin, when the Balkan Wars were underway.
Later, during World War I, Greece belatedly entered the war on the side of the Triple Entente and, due to Greece's neutrality the two ex-German V-class ships were seized by the Allies in October 1916, taken over by the French in November and served in the French Navy from 1917–18. By 1918, they were back on escort duty under Greek colors, mainly in the Aegean Sea.
Nea Genea was stricken in 1919 and scrapped in 1922.
