Tree class trawler

Tree class trawler

The Tree class trawlers were a type of anti-submarine vessel which served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War. They were nearly identical to the Isles class trawlers, of which they are usually considered a subclass.

Six Tree class trawlers were lost during the war: "Almond, Ash, Chestnut, Hickory, Juniper" and "Pine". One ("Mangrove") was transferred to Portugal in 1943.

By the end of 1946, only "Olive" and "Walnut" remained in service with the Royal Navy. [Anthony Preston (ed.), "Jane's Fighting Ships of World War II", p. 78. New York: Military Press, 1989. This largely a reprint of "Jane's Fighting Ships 1946-47" with materials from some earlier editions.] Both were sold in 1948.
