Project history: Development of Ehrensköld class, the order for building was given out in 1928. They were differed by more powerful machinery, insignificant increased hull length and TTs of new model.
Modernizations: mid-1930s, both: - 2 x 1 - 40/39; + 2 x 1 - 40/56 K/60 M32
1939, both: new boilers were installed; - 2 x 1 - 40/56; + 2 x 2 - 25/55 K/58 M32
Naval service: Both ships were lost 17.9.1941 in Haarsfjärden naval base near Stockholm as a result of explosion on destroyer Klas Uggla and subsequent fire. Klas Horn subsequently was salvaged and after repair was commissioned in December, 1943.
