SMS Blitz was an aviso of the Imperial German Navy, the lead ship of her class. She had one sister ship, SMS Pfeil. Blitz was built at the Norddeutscher Schiffbau dockyard; she was laid down in 1881, was launched in August 1882, and was commissioned in March 1883. The ship's career was uneventful; she served as a flotilla leader for torpedo boats until 1900. In 1903, she became a fleet tender. She was briefly mobilized at the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, but she returned to fleet tender duties in 1915, where she remained for the duration of the conflict. She was stricken from the naval register in March 1921 and was broken up for scrap later that year.
