Thirty-two Ascot class paddle minesweepers were ordered for the Royal Navy in 1915 through early 1917.

The last eight ordered, in January, 1717, were of a very slightly larger design.

They were inspired by the hired paddle sweepers that had performed well early in the war to Ailsa Shipbuilding's successful design for Glen Usk.[1]

Armament

  • two 6-pdr guns
  • two 2-pdr guns
