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

Revision as of 15:49, 7 July 2015

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.
