Project history:
"Schnellboots", ordered in 1936-1937 to Fr. Lürssen (Vegesack)
by central government of China for Yangtze in number of 10
boats. German designations were C1-10. Structurally
they repeated German S2 with composite hull. Actually prior to beginning of Japanese-Chinese war
only Kuai 101-103 (C1-3) were completed.
Building of C4-10 really did not start. The contract
was ultimately cancelled by German party in August, 1939, and
prepared materials were used for building of German MTBs S30-37.
Modernizations: 1938, Yue 253, 371: - 2 - 533 TT; + MGs
1946, Kuai 101, 102: - MGs; + 2 - 533 TT
1949, Haixin: - 2 - 533 TT
Naval service: Kuai 101 safely has gone through war and in 1949 was commissioned by PRC Navy where she served till 1963.
