Ship project history: Torpedo motorboats (Schnellboote) were the development of successful prototype created by F. Lürssen in 1929. General characteristic lines for all series were round-bilge hull with small deadrise, triple-shaft diesel machinery, presence of two auxiliary rudders for creation of "Lürssen effect" (fitting of rudders under an angle to centreline for speed increase) and a bow arrangement of two TTs. Composite hull included light alloy framing, wooden planking and steel engine seating.

Boats had a forecastle; there were conical deck houses, which were protected by 10-12mm armour. Besides two torpedoes in tubes, all S-boats could carry two spare torpedoes (or 4-6 mines); S701 series boats had additionally two astern-directed TTs as back action to pursuing destroyers.

Ship protection: Boats had armoured CT and bridge.

Modernizations: None.

Naval service: Two boats of S701 class were lost: S702 was sunk 18/9/1944 by British frigate Stayner and MTB724 and MTB728 at coast of Flanders; S703 was sunk 8/4/1945 as a result of collision with S202 in the North Sea. S701 was damaged 23/1/1945 as a result of collision with British MTB495 and never repaired till the end of war. On reparations 4 boats were transferred to the USSR.
