The steamship "Romania" (3152 t) does not appear in RRN. It appears later, as Minenschiff ROMANIA passed to German 10. Sicherungsdivision (The 10th Sea Defence Division), formed in Jan.1944. Crew ?

S-boat Depot Ship (Schnellbootbegleitschiff) in the Crimea campaign (port of Sevastopol). 11.1943 Minelayer (minenschiff, minenleger). Spring of 1943, the minelayers Am.Murgescu and Romania lay several flank mine barriers before Sulina and in the Odessa bay.
