| Budget funds for further fleet expansion till 1919 were approved on 28 May 1914, and provided, among others, six additional destroyers. Battleships and scout cruisers had priority and the laying down of the destroyers was deferred to a later date. However, loss of Lika and Triglav was felt so seriously that the Fleet Command requested replacements already on 1 January 1916. To avoid delays, the new units should be of the Tátra–type, but extended by two to three frames. An increase of the gun caliber was also demanded: two 12 cm and six 9 cm instead of the 7 cm. The idea was dropped, due to the expected weight increase and the resulting slower speed and reduced range of action. | |
| Four destroyers were ordered from Ganz & Co. – Danubius as early as 19 January 1916. Their names were Triglav (II), Lika (II), Dukla, and Uzsok. All saw active service during their short war career. |
