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:
“Alas for the cripple Practice when it seeks to come up with the bird Theory, which flies before it. Try your design on the best school. The scholars are of all ages and temperaments and capacities. It is difficult to class them, some are too young, some are slow, some perverse. Each requires so much consideration, that the morning hope of the teacher, of a day of love and progress, is often closed at evening by despair.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
