The Venturer class minesweepers were naval trawlers converted from fishing trawlers to minesweeper service for the Royal Navy in 1978.
There were 2 members of the class:
- HMS Venturer - originally Suffolk Harvester
- HMS Saint David - originally Suffolk Monarch
They reverted to their former names and owner in November 1983 and were converted into oil rig safety/standby vessels.
Famous quotes containing the word class:
“He has more to impart than to receive from his generation. He is another such a strong and finished workman in his craft as Samuel Johnson was, and, like him, makes the literary class respectable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
