350:. These boilers proved to be particularly vulnerable to attack and โ once the vessel had broken down โ required a major effort to repair. Steam had the advantage of quietness but demanded a large hull. Large wooden hulls were not feasible for mass production, so steel was used. This meant hulls and machinery were beyond the scope of the small yards engaged in the rapid expansion of the coastal forces, and the SGB thus competed for berths in yards already hard put to produce urgently required convoy escorts. Also they competed in the demand for mild steel and steam power plants against the more urgently demanded destroyers; accordingly the planned 51 further vessels were not ordered, and the two units ordered from
855:, becoming the first vessel so powered. The highly advanced turbines featured intercooled compressors and recuperators to boost turbine power output and reduce fuel consumption. The gas turbine powerplant provided 35% more power while weighing 50% less and was 25% less bulky, compared with the original steam machinery. Although the experimental powerplant proved very successful, it was too complex and supporting technology too immature for wider service at that time, and SGB9 was placed in reserve at the end of the trials in 1957. With the experimental engines removed, SGB9 was sold off in 1958, becoming a mercantile repair hulk. Sold in 1984, the hulk was converted to a houseboat and renamed

Although these 160-ton vessels were designed as minesweepers-minelayers, this class was unique in being equipped with two torpedo tubes and sometimes an 88 mm gun, as well as the typical R boat armament of 37 mm and 20 mm guns and 16 mines. These were usually called "escort minesweepers". However, with a maximum speed of 24 knots they were much slower than the steam gun boats.

Their armament was arranged with the three-inch gun on the aft deck behind the superstructure, just aft of the torpedo tubes that angled out on either side of the superstructure. There were a pair of (57 mm) six-pounder guns fore and aft, and two twin
Oerlikon 20 mm cannons, one in the apex

Fuel consumption was heavy. A disadvantage was that, while a petrol boat could start from cold and get away immediately, the SGB had to remain in steam. Over time the addition of 18 mm (0.7 in) protective plate over the sides of the boiler and engine rooms, together with the extra armament

Admiralty noted their vulnerability and refitted them with additional armour over their engine and boiler rooms. At the same time the six remaining boats were renamed after wildlife in

A lack of steel and turbines meant that the 52 boats initially planned were reduced to an order of nine boats which received the designations SGB 1 to 9. Numbers 1 and 2 were cancelled when their hulls were badly damaged by an air raid on the
Southampton area. The 1st SGB Flotilla was formed at

Veritable battleships of the coastal forces, the steam gun boats were heavily armed and could maintain high speed in a seaway. In action E-boat commanders respected the SGBs almost as much as destroyers as a single well-placed shot from their three-inch guns could disable or sink an E-boat.

The steam gun boats were conceived to answer the seeming need for a craft which was large enough to put to sea in rough weather and which could operate both as a "super-gunboat" and a torpedo carrier, combining the functions of the
