Revision as of 11:38, 6 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.
