Project history: A Niki class of 4 destroyers was ordered simultaneously with order on 4 destroyers of Thyella class for Yarrow. As a whole both classes were identical, but German-built ships differed by three-funneled outline profile and lower cost (1,250,000 francs for all four ships instead of 1,325,000). Speed of survived ships by 1940 did not exceed 25kts.
Modernizations: (1925-1927, Salamis), Aspis, Niki: - 2 x 1 - 76/51, 4 x 1 - 57/59; + 2 x 1 - 88/27 TK L/30 C/08, 1 x 1 - 40/39 2pdr QF Mk VIII
Naval service: Doxa was sunk off Milos 27.6.1917 by German submarine UB47. Aspis and Niki in April, 1941 were disarmed and all the time of war were used as receiving ships. Both were broken up in 1945.
