Project history: Wooden hull. Served rather as MGBs without TT. After building of original four boats it was planned to build two new diesel-powered boats and to modernize one old boat (T206) to diesel power. But after the fire aboard the modernized boat the new T206 was laid down.
Modernizations: early 1970s, many boats were armed with (1 x 1 - 40/60 Mk 3, (1 - 3) x 1 - 20/70 Mk 10) or (2 - 4) x 1 - 20/70 Mk 10 only
Naval service: No significant events.
