Background

About the ship

In 1933, the construction of flotilla destroyers began, and it was planned for them to surpass their same-type counterparts owned by other nations in speed and firepower. In March 1933, AG Vulcan Stettin released a design proposal for a "conventional London Naval Treaty" destroyer featuring a displacement of 1,500 tons. Later, the project underwent revisions, resulting in an increased displacement of 2,000 tons. Nevertheless, the Kriegsmarine leadership favored an alternative project, which served as the basis for the subsequent development of the Type 1934 ships.
