Racecourse-class minesweeper Class of British minesweepers

The Racecourse-class minesweepers were 32 ships delivered to the Royal Navy during the First World War.

The vessels were reasonable sea-boats, but lost speed badly in a seaway when the paddle boxes tended to become choked with water. The class is also widely referred to as the Ascot class and Improved Ascot class.
