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
Service
Pendant Numbers
When they served in the Auxiliary Patrol, all were given pendant numbers that were the Fishing pendant superior with their Admiralty number inferior. When they later joined the Mine Clearance Service, they used a T flag superior with either their Admiralty number inferior or they employed the pendant number specified.[2]
