Designed to replace the older Hansa-Brandenburg W.12, it was basically a monoplane version of it. The monoplane configuration created much less drag and therefore greater speed and better performance. The performance was that great that, in some countries, it remained in active service until the early 1930s, as we have previously said in the post dedicated to it's foreign users.
Under Kaiserliche Marine (German Imperial Navy) command, it operated mainly from North Sea bases and it achieved a nice result watching and attacking ships sailing around those waters.
