Project history: Torpedo motorboats (Schnellboote) were the development of successful prototype created by F. Lürssen in 1929. General characteristic lines for all series were round-bilge hull with small deadrise, triple-shaft diesel machinery, presence of two auxiliary rudders for creation of "Lürssen effect" (fitting of rudders under an angle to centreline for speed increase) and a bow arrangement of two TTs. Composite hull included light alloy framing, wooden planking and steel engine seating. S2 type boats were appeared unsuccessful because of their petrol engines.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: S3 and S5 were badly damaged at Cadiz during unloading from cargo vessel and never commissioned by Spanish navy.
