Project history

In May 1910 the Austrian Naval authorities asked the Danubius, Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino, Camierc Navale Triestino and Vulcan, Stettin, shipyards to tender for six 800t turbine-powered destroyers capable of 32.5kts. Ultimately the Hungarian Danubius yard was awarded the contract for political reasons - to ensure Hungarian approval of the 1911 naval budget containing funds for the Tegetthoffs, two of which were already under construction. The boats were built at Danubius' subsidiary at Porto Ré (Kraljevica) and saw active wartime service.

Modernizations

1916-1918, all survived: - 2 x 1 - 66/42 SFK L/45; + 2 x 1 - 66/42 G. L/45 BAG

Naval service
