Revision as of 13:22, 5 April 2018

Twenty Hunt class minesweepers were ordered for the Royal Navy in 1917 to a design drawn up by Ailsa Shipbuilding. A larger order for a modified Admiralty design was placed the following year.

They were to be the first true fleet minesweepers.

They were twin screw vessels, in response to fears that paddle-sweepers might ensnare moored mines in their paddle wheels.

Construction

Armament

1916 Order, Ailsa Design

These ships generally conformed to two armament patterns, one being twice the power of the second.[1]

Some mounted:

  • two 12-pdr
  • two 6-pdr

Others had:

  • one 12-pdr
  • one 6-pdr

1917 Order, Admiralty Design

  • one 4-in Q.F. gun
  • one 12-pdr H.A. gun

Service

Upon completion, most of these joined the Second and Third Minesweeping Flotillas operating out of Granton.[2]
