Berlin was a frigate who was part of the Brandenburg Navy.
The Brandenburg Navy was created to protect the Brandenburg interests in the Baltic, Caribbean as well as in their African colonies. In 1688 the Brandenburg Navy was merged into the Prussian Navy.
Berlin was named after the former capital of Germany. She is known to have been built in the Netherlands and to have looked like a galleon. Records have been found relating to a few naval battles in which she took part: in 1676 Berlin captured the Swedish schooner Maria and in 1675 overpowered the French frigate Royal de Dunkerque.
Berlin is the largest vessels of the German Navy where this type of ship is called Einsatzgruppenversorger which can be translated as task force supplier though the official translation in English is combat support ship, or in military parlance, a oiler. They are intended to support German naval units away from their home ports. The ships carry fuel, provisions, ammunition and other material and also provide medical services. The ships are named after large German cities
