Net-class boom defence vessel

The Net class were a class of boom defence vessels of the Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy during World War II.

Of the eleven ships of the class ten were built in shipyards in northern England and Scotland, while the eleventh was built in Sydney, Australia. One ship, HMS Bayonet, was lost when it struck a mine in the Firth of Forth on 21 December 1939, initially attributed to being laid by the U-21 on 4 November. The second court-martial of HMS Bayonet's skipper found that the mine was part of a British defensive field laid by HMS Plover the day before
