SMS G7[a][b] was a V1-class large torpedo boat of the Imperial German Navy. She was built by the Germaniawerft shipyard at Kiel between 1911 and 1912, completing on 30 April 1912.
She served throughout the First World War, taking part in the Battle of Heligoland Bight on 28 August 1914, the Battle of Dogger Bank in 1915 and the Battle of Jutland in 1916.
Post war, G7 served in the Weimar Republic's Reichsmarine, and was modernised in 1928, when she was lengthened and re-armed. She continued to serve with Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine and was renamed T107 in 1939. The ship was used as a torpedo recovery vessel during the Second World War. After the war, the ship was transferred to the Soviet Union as reparations, being renamed Porashayushtshiy before being scrapped in 1957.
