Project history: Unique Italian destroyers, at which designing experience of an initial stage of war has been considered. Design works have started late 1940, and to the mid-1942 new destroyer was transformed from hardly modified "Soldati" type to 2000t ship with 135mm main guns. On one of design stages 135mm guns took places both in single and twin mounts, but in an ultimate variant the preference has been returned to four single mounts. For speed keeping at comprehensible level machinery power have raised to 60000hp. The general arrangement scheme repeated accepted on earlier ships. One destroyer should make an exception, which was supposed to be constructed with machinery arrangement en echelon instead of the linear.
In total 20 ships were appointed to building, but really only 9 were laid down. All laid down ships have been captured by German troops in September, 1943 on slipways. Germans did not undertake serious attempts to complete these ships, but it is known, that one destroyer (Comandante Margottini) was launched during German occupations, probably, only to clear a slipway.
Comandante Corsi, Comandante Esposito, Comandante Fiorelli, Comandante Gianattasio, Comandante Milano, Comandante Novaro (CRDA, Trieste) were ordered but never laid down.
