Project history: Design was developed by Danish Admiralty. For their time design was rather conservative. Prominent feature of ships was presence of single and twin TTs simultaneously.
Hvalrossen in 1929 reclassified to patrol. Under some data, bow fixed TT to the Second World War beginning has been demounted.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: Hvalrossen was scuttled by crew at Copenhagen 29.8.1943 to avoid capture. Subsequently she was raised by latters, but in course of salvage works ship hull has broken apart and her repair recognised as inexpedient.
