To replenish the destroyer fleet and make up for their losses, construction of the 1916 "mobilization" type ships began in the autumn of 1916. The project that followed was codenamed "Type 1917." Construction of 26 destroyers of this type commenced in 1918. This project was effectively an enlarged version of the previous one but with stronger artillery. The ships of this project were the first German destroyers to be equipped with geared turbines as their main propulsion units. However, none of the ships were launched due to the end of World War I.
