Unlike the ships of the previous series, they have received the forecastle which notably has raised seaworthiness, and their steam turbines were equipped were geared for the first time in the Swedish navy. Armament repeated predecessors, only two additional single torpedo tubes have installed under a forecastle, shooting through ports in side plating, covered by folding boards.

It was planed to built a series of four ships, but the order of the second pair of obsolete destroyers have refused.
