| Following the single-screwed Meteor/Blitz types, in the next stage, twin-screw vessels were built according to two domestic designs. Six foreign yards and the domestic S.T.T. were asked for bids. The S.T.T. and Palmers at Yarrow each were awarded a contract, but it soon was obvious that realization of the design was nearly impossible. Palmers' Planet did not obtain the contract speed of 20.5 kts and suffered from 40 tons surplus displacement. | |
| The more than 25 year old destroyer was assigned to the local defense of Pola during the war. The forward 7 cm cal 42 was replaced by a cal 45 AA gun in February 1918. She was allocated to Italy for scrap by the Allied Naval Delegations at Paris end of January 1920. |
