Project history: Wooden-hulled, with planning step. New design, dimensions and displacement were moderated in comparison with previous classes, that has allowed to raise maximal speed without increase of engine power. In comparison with Ò14 type they had hardly higher speed but worse seaworthiness.

Modernizations: None.

Naval service: No significant events
