| Austro-Hungarian "Satellit" |
|
Destroyers |

Although the Trabant,
built 1889/90, also failed to attain the contracted speed, the A.-H. Navy nevertheless
accepted the design and then ordered an improved type with increased speed, the Satellit,
from F. Schichau  . For the first time, hull steel material was
manufactured by domestic iron works. During construction a discussion arose if, when
building the next vessel, one should follow the international trend as represented by the
British Daring. Despite these considerations, however, the
Austrians chose to order from Schichau an improved Satellit,
christened Magnet. |
|
Satellit received mine laying
equipment for 20 mines in 1894. The bow torpedo tube was removed in 1906, instead she
received two turnable broadside deck torpedo tubes in 1908. Satellit
received three Yarrow watertube boilers instead of the four old cylindrical boilers in
1912 and
therefore three funnels. |
