The RKM Baune is a Hornung-class battleship of the Rotgeheime Kriegsmarine. The Baune is notable for its service during the 10 Days War, in which in sank several enemy vessels, and the Invasion of Scheinfeld.
In 1911, the Baune was loaned to the Reichsmarine of Northern Prussia to demonstrate the abilities of her class. After favorable review, the Reichsmarine officials ordered nine Hornung-class ships of their own.
The RKM Baune is captained by Kapitän zur See Rüdiger Teicher.
