Project history: Unlike the ships of types 1935 and 1937, "fleet" torpedo boats of 1939 type intended for escort service and self-supporting actions on minor theatres. Artillery arms, at invariable torpedoes number, have been considerably strengthened; as a result displacement has grown on 65%, in comparison with predecessors, seaworthiness and endurance have significantly improved. Machinery remained former (only the arrangement instead of linear became en echelon) as consequence, speed has decreased, in real conditions did not exceed 31kts and sustained 28.5kts. 105mm guns placed in mounts with 70° max elevation angle and could be used for antiaircraft shooting, that together with MGs did the ships extremely strong concerning air defence. The last 6 ships differed by hull and superstructure form.
Modernizations: early 1944, T22 - 24, 27: + 2 x 4 - 20/65 C/38, 1 x 1 - 20/65 C/38
early 1944, T28 - 30: - 2 x 1 - 20/65; + 2 x 2 - 20/65 C/38
early 1944, T31: - 2 x 1 - 20/65; + 2 x 4 - 20/65 C/38
1944, all survived earlier ships: + FuMO 63 radar, FuMB 3 Bali, FuMB 4 Sumatra ECM suites
early 1945, T35: - 4 x 1 - 20/65; + 2 x 1 - 37/57 FlaK M/43, 2 x 2 - 20/65 C/38
early 1945, T36: - 2 x 1 - 20/65; + 2 x 2 - 20/65 C/38
Naval service: T25 and T26 were lost 28.12.1943 in battle against British cruisers Glasgow and Enterprise in Bay of Biscay. T29 and T27 were sunk by British and Canadian destroyers in La Manche 26.4.1944 and 29.4.1944 respectively, T31 was sunk 20.6.1944 by Soviet MTBs TK-37 and TK-60 in Gulf of Finland. T22, T30 and T32 were lost 20.8.1944 on German mines in Narva Bay. T24 was sunk 24.8.1944 by British aircraft in a mouth of Gironde. T34 was lost 20.11.1944 in Baltic Sea at Rügen on the mines, laid by British aircraft or Soviet submarine L-3. T36 was damaged 3.5.1945 on British aviation mine and 4.5.1945 sunk by Soviet aircraft at Swinemünde.
T23 and T28, being received on reparations by UK, in 1946 were transferred to France as L`Alsacien and Lorrain. T33 was commissioned by Soviet Navy as Primerny. T35 was tested in the USA as DD935, and in 1947 sold on spare parts to France.
