Project history: Design was developed on the basis of project of Gunboat 1938 and differed from F type escorts by larger dimensions, better seaworthiness and habitability, higher endurance and more conventional machinery with low pressure steam. Building of totally 24 ships was planned. Really only G1 was laid down but building was suspended in May, 1943. Hull was destroyed on the stocks 27.7.1943 by British bombers and broken up next year. Building of G2 (Stülcken, Hamburg) and G5 and G6 (Wilton-Fijenoord, Rotterdam) was prepared but never started.
