The V125 class and subsequent H145 subclass, also known as the Großes Torpedoboot Type 1916Mob, were improved versions of the V25-class torpedo boats.

They were built with a higher freeboard, which gave them better seakeeping capabilities while retaining good maneuverability.

After the end of World War I, the French Navy acquired five ships of this class as war reparations, becoming the Rageot de la Touche class.

[2] Forty-four ships were planned for the V125 class with only nineteen ever being completed.
