SMS V29[a][b] was a V25-class torpedo boat of the Imperial German Navy that served during the First World War.

The ship was built by AG Vulcan at Stettin in Prussia (now Szczecin in Poland), and was completed in September 1914.

The new, larger, designs would, as well as being more seaworthy, carry a heavier armament and would be oil-fueled only, rather than use the mix of oil- and coal-fueled boilers that German torpedo boats had used up to then.

225 tonnes (221 long tons) of fuel oil was carried, giving a range of 1,080 nautical miles (2,000 km; 1,240 mi) at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).

[5] On 15 December 1914 the German battlecruiser squadron under the command of Franz von Hipper set out on an attack on the British east coast towns of Scarborough, Hartlepool, West Hartlepool and Whitby, with the intent of drawing out parts of the British Grand Fleet where it could be defeated in detail.

V29 was part of the escort for Hipper's heavy ships, but after suffering from condenser problems, was ordered to turn back.

[19] Later in the day, S35 was sunk by shellfire from the British battleship Iron Duke while attempting another torpedo attack, with all S35's crew killed along with the survivors from V29 who had been taken aboard earlier.
