Project history: Coastal torpedo-boats of the A III type. Boats built by different builders varied in dimensions, turbines and details such as the shape of funnels.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: Nine were mined: A 56 12.3.18 in the North Sea; A57 1.3.18 in the North Sea; A58 15.8.18 off Flandres coast; A60 30.11.17 off Flanders coast; A71 4.5.18 in the North Sea; A72 14.5.18 in the North Sea; A73 20.1.18 in the North Sea; A77 20.1.18 in the North Sea; A79 10.7.18 in the North Sea. A 81 was transferred to Pola by railway in sections to serve as a tender for the German Mediterranean submarine flotilla and was scuttled at there 29.10.18. The surviving boats were broken up in the early 1920s, except for four boats ceded to Poland.
