Project history: In 1904 the Austro-Hungarian Navy ordered a prototype 400t destroyer from Yarrow, together with a 200t torpedo boat. A further 11 units of the Yarrow destroyer type were built at the above mentioned domestic yards. By 1910 advances of international destroyer development had left this type under-armed, so they were up-gunned in 1912-13.
Modernizations: 1912-13, all survived: - 7 x 1 - 47/40; + 5 x 1 - 66/27 G. L/30 K.09 TAG/BAG
1916-1918, Streiter, Uskoke, Pandur: - 1 x 1 - 66/42 SFK L/45; + 1 x 1 - 66/42 G. L/42 BAG
1916-1918, Ulan, Wildfang, Scharfschütze, Huszár, Turul, Csikós, Réka, Dinara, Velebit: - 1 x 1 - 66/42; + 1 x 1 - 75/27 G. L/30 K.16 BAG
Naval service: The first Huszár ran aground near Traste 3.12.1908 and sank, so a replacement unit was built at the Pola N Yd to maintain the full dozen. Although obsolete at the outbreak of war these boats saw extensive wartime service: Wildfang was mined 4.6.1917 W of Peneda Island; Streiter sank 16.4.1918 off Laurana after a collision with s/s Petka. All the others were ceded to Italy or France and were scrapped immediately, except Ulan, which went to Greece as the Smyrni, and was discarded in 1928.
