German Destriyers or Zerstorer and Large Torpedo Boats or gross Torpedoboote were basically the same and had very little distinction between them. The term Destroyer did not come into effect witht he German navy7 until the B.97 class which was built in 1914/1915. Unto this time the Torpedo Boats and Destroyers were not named except with a consecutive number and a letter denoting the Naval yard it was built at. The three main builders up to 1912 was Germaniawerft, (prefaced with B) A.G Vulcan (prefaced with V ) and Schichau (prefaced with S) another three yards started building after 1912 and they were Blohn and Voss (prefaced with B) Howaldtswerke (prefaced with H ) and Wilhelmshaven Imperial Dockyard prefaced with W ) In 1912 New lettering system was introduced starting with V.1 and boats which were still in operation were renamed with there number but the letter changed to V.
