An additional 40 tons of ballast was added, the bridge reduced in size and the height of the smoke stacks was decreased. The number of torpedo reloads were reduced from nine to three (for the center launcher only), and fewer shells were stored for the guns.

The rebuild reduced the top speed slightly to 34 knots. 1218: 122: 56: 444:
