Ship project history: These ships formed as purely anti-submarine, and, besides DCs and guns, in fighting with submarines the big role assigned drawing possibilities of a ramming blow (that was promoted by the long diving time of this time submarines) for what they had the strengthened stem and very good manoeuvrability. A part of the ships ("PC" type) was built outwardly masked under merchant vessels, i.e. as classical decoys ("Q"-ships).
