Project history

The design was developed in 1906 by Horten N Yd. For time successful enough ships differed by validity of construction, strong hulls and good seaworthiness. They were close to British ships of "River" class, served some kind of an orienting point at drawing up of technical requirements on designing. Thus Norwegian ships were not a copy, but analogue of British ships, and had a number of individual features: an arrangement of artillery and TTs, and also presence of four funnels giving to the Norwegian ships resemblance with Swedish and Russian destroyers. Last ship, Garm, became first Norwegian turbine-driven ship.
