Project history: These vessels continued the same process of steady improvement of the basic design begun by their predecessors.
Modernizations: 1902, S69; 1904, S67, S68, S70, S71, S73; 1906, S72: were reboilered with new locomotive boiler
1914, all: were reboilered with 2 Marine boilers; - 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.
