History

The Admiralty requested to build a new minesweeper class to succeed the old Leiebånd class. With the new UAV minesweeper coming to their arsenal, they also thought of a new UAV carrier. They decided to use the OWG-Nordliche Schifffahrtslinien built container ship class, T class, as their basis for the UAV carrier. This was approved and 3 were ordered to be built.
