Type 1914 ultimate design, absolute pinnacle of German WWI destroyer evolution. 854 tons (largest WWI German destroyers), 3× 10.5cm guns, 2× 8.8cm AA guns (enhanced AA), 6× 50cm torpedoes, 36.5 knots (highest WWI speed!). Most powerful engines ever (22,000 SHP turbines), longest range ever (2,800 nm), best seakeeping of all WWI destroyers. Advanced fire control, improved stability for heavy seas. Late war completion (1915-1916) meant very limited combat service. Last WWI destroyer class before Treaty of Versailles.
