Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship class overviewШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsThe twenty-eight Anchusa-class sloops were built under the Emergency War Programme for the Royal Navy in World War I as the final part of the larger "Flower class", which were also referred to as the "Cabbage class", or "Herbaceous Borders".
They were single screw fleet sweeping vessels (sloops) with triple hulls at the bow to give extra protection against loss when working.
The Anchusa class of corvettes or convoy sloops were completed in 1917 and 1918. They were a small class of convoy protection ships built to look like merchant ships for use as Q-ships in World War I.
Two members of the Anchusa group, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS (renamed Шаблон:HMS in 1922), survived to be moored on the River Thames for use as Drill Ships by the RNVR until 1988, a total of seventy years in RN service. Шаблон:HMS was sold and preserved, and is now one of the last three surviving warships of the Royal Navy built during the First World War, (along with the 1914 Light cruiser Шаблон:HMS in Belfast, and the 1915 Monitor Шаблон:HMS in Portsmouth dockyard).
