Project history

These vessels continued the same process of steady improvement of the basic design begun by their predecessors.

Modernizations

1914, all: were reboilered with 2 Marine boilers; - 1 - 450 TT, 2 x 1 - 450 TT; + mechanical minesweeping gear

Naval service

Most were rebuilt and reboilered in the opening years of the new century. In September 1914 all were redesignated with the letter T beginning their numbers, and were used during the war as minesweepers and as tenders to instructional vessels. T67 and T68 were mined in North Sea 13.8.1918 and 4.6.1918 respectively.
