About the model
The six vessels of the class were built and completed in 1944 for the Admiralty by Cochrane & Sons of Selby. The vessels were used as fleet tugs during WWII and fitted with a 12-pounder deck gun, two Oerlikon guns and two Colt machine guns for defence when on escort or rescue duty.
After the war the tugs were sold into commercial service and renamed.
