According to an article on Imperial German Navy Designs for 1920 by Christopher Kluxen in Sitrep 50 (available from the Wargames Vault/DriveThruRPG), the Mobilization Type 1916 destroyers (V 125 - 130; S 131- 133; V 140 - 144; H 145 - 147) were to be followed by Mobilization Type 1917 (G 148 - 150; Ww 151; S 152 - 157; V 158 - 165; H 166 - 169) with delivery dates Jan-1919 to Autumn 1920, differences between the classes were small.But Mobilization Type 1917 was then to be followed by Mobilization Type 1918 , which the Imperial Navy wanted to match or exceed the V&W type, with 125-130mm guns. They were told they couldn't have the guns - no available capacity - but Mob Typ 1918 was to be a 35kt, 1,563 ton design with 4 10.5cm SKL/45 Utof, 5 50cm G7 torpedoes, and rails for 40 mines, or in one or two per flotilla a seaplane. 24 ordered Jan 1918, 30 ordered June 1918 (V 170 - 177; S 178 - 185; H 186 - 202; V 203 - 210 and S 211 - 223. Existing destroyers with the same numbers would be reclassified as torpedo boats with the flag superior changing to T) deliveries to run between September 1919 and end 1920. In August 1918 there was discussion of exchanging the 4 10.5cm SKL/45 for 3 15cm Tbts KL/45 Utof.Also in the article are Flottenkreuzer 1916 / FK1a, Schnellboot Type 1918, the Project 47 armoured U-Cruiser and the Project 50/UD-1 steam-powered U-Cruiser.
