Development

After the defeat in Far Eastern - Japanese war, the war experience and lessons were theraly analysed in the "Special committee of readjustment in naval affairs" which was formed after the humiliating defeat in the Tsusima straight. One of the main lessons of the war regarding torpedo ships were, that destroyers were far more versatile than just aggressive torpedo attackers. They performed vast range of different naval missions and thus the new requirement for future destroyers emphasized multipurpose capability. New type of destroyers were to operate in higher speeds and longer range with better sea keeping capabilities. This in return meant that the future destroyers would be considerably larger than the earlier ones. Novaya Verf build prototype ship for these new requirements called Oniks and after analyzing the performance of the new ship, a tender for total of 27 new destroyers were issued upon three shipyards; Novaya Verf in Dalny, Dalzavod in Vladivostok and Amurskiy Sudostroitelnyy Zavod in Nikolaev-na-Amure. Each shipyard were given design requirements but other than that, each company was responsible of designing their boats. It resulted 3 different group of relatively similar performance destroyers.

Novaya Verf's design was based on the earlier Oniks but had some differences according to the new design parameters. It had two-shaft machinery and only 4 boilers but with increased capacity and thus still making 37,000 hp. The short forecastle with the break was replaced with longer one and the bridge structure was placed above the forecastle deck. It carried 2 new 120mm/45 guns and 4 set of twin torpedo tubes. Later units of the class had one or two of the twin torpedo tubes replaced with additional 120mm guns.
