Project history: ex-Norwegian torpedo boats, Kjell and Skarv were captured 9.4.1940 and used from mid-1940 as patrols. Teist was sunk 14.4.1940 but reportedly was salvaged by Germans in 1940 and may been commissioned.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: Dragoner was sunk by British Mosquito bombers 28.9.1944 W off Kristiansand and Gazelle was collided with Norwegian steamship 27.9.1942 off Lervik.
