Major General
Germans had some design experience with large destroyers in WW I but no practical experience (feed back).
The S 113 was running trials when the war ended
And wound up in French hands as reparations. 2060 tons, 346ft long, 4 15cm guns and 4 23.6in torpedoes. 2 sisters broken up incomplete.
a class of 6 near sisters from a different yard saw one ship (V 116) going to Italy and the other scrapped in various stages of completion. A further group of 3 ships from another yard were all broken up incomplete. These were all oil fired and the Germans had been using oil firing since the 1913 year classes. Early ships had used mixed firing but all oil allowed for a a number of improvements including a large reduction in machinery personnel.
The S 113 had poor sea keeping even in the North Sea.
