Project history: Design was developed by builder under the same technical requirements, as Mameli class. Single-hulled. They exceeded Mameli class on endurance, but, as well as the latter, had insufficient stability. Soon after commission they received external bulges: the stability was raised, but speed has fallen from 17.3/8.8 to 15/8.2kts.
Modernizations: 1930, all: bulges were fitted, max speed was 15 / 8.2 kts.
Naval service: To the war beginning they were considered become outdated, and since 1942 three boats were disarmed and converted to battery recharging stations and fuel oil hulks.
