Project history: Originally it was planned to follow on with the traditional torpedo-boat type using the next available numbers (198-209), but the fleet argued for smaller boats which were believed to be more manoeuvrable in the battle line. This resulted in a generation of smaller destroyers (starting in 1911) with new numbers. Trials showed quickly that the reduced displacement caused a remarkable loss of seaworthiness. The original V 5 and V 6 were sold to Greece. Two identical replacement boats V5 and V6 were ordered.
Modernizations: 1916, all completed: - 2 x 1 - 88/27; + 2 x 1 - 88/42 TK L/45 C/14
1921-1922, all survived: - 2 x 1 - 88/42, 2 x 1 - 500 TT; + 2 x 1 - 105/42 SK C/06; boilers were replaced by 3 new ones, fuel stowage was 150t of coal and 77t of oil. Displacement was 670 / 753t, endurance 1750(17).
Naval service: No significant events.
