Project history: These vessels continued the same process of steady improvement of the basic design begun by their predecessors.
Modernizations: 1916, both: - 1 - 450 TT, 2 x 1 - 450 TT; + mechanical minesweeping gear
Naval service: Most were rebuilt and reboilered in the opening years of the new century. In September 1914 all were redesignated with the letter T beginning their numbers, and were used during the war as minesweepers and as tenders to instructional vessels.
