RN CORVETTES, SLOOPS AND PATROL VESSELS
This gallery contains a mix of patrol vessels from World War 1 and convoy escort vessels from World War 2. Although the 'Castle' Class, 'Bay' Class and 'Loch Class' were rated as frigates, I feel this a really a misnomer in light of postwar frigate development and so they are included here. Armed Merchant Cruisers, also essentially patrol vessels, are included here. These pictures are published for pleasure/information/research purposes only and are not for sale or copy under any circumstances. Information in captions has been researched as thoroughly as possible but it accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
