Project history

All the boats in the S7-S65 group were adhered to Schichau's standard torpedo boat form, with the maximum breadth of hull well aft, producing a plan that resembled a pear shape.

Modernizations

1893, all: - 1 x 5 - 37/27; + 1 x 1 - 50/37 SK L/40 C/92

1902, S60, S62, S64: were reboilered with new locomotive boiler

1905, S61; 1911, S59, S63; 1913, T65; 1914, T58: reboilered with Marine boiler

1914, all survived: - 1 - 350 TT, 2 x 1 - 350 TT; + mechanical minesweeping gear

Naval service

Some of the earliest boats were discarded 1900-1910, becoming target boats or tenders, or just being broken up, but the majority were rebuilt and reboilered. In 1910 the survivors had their designations changed from S to T, to clear the S numbers for new destroyers. During the war they were used as minesweepers. T58 was sunk by mine on Baltic 8.8.1915. T59 sank after collision on Baltic 25.6.1918. T64 was mined on Baltic 23.10.1916, T65 was mined there 26.10.1917.
