This class of destroyers was originally built for the Argentine Navy, but taken over by Germany after the outbreak of the war, and thus show a design quite unlike that of the other torpedo boats. Like their semi-cousins intended for the Russian Navy, they are more destroyers than torpedo boats. Apart from the four tubes amidships, they also sport two bow-mounted tubes able to fire straight ahead. All were built on the Germaniawerft shipyards in Kiel.
