The '''''Banff''-class sloop''' was a group of ten [[warship]]s of the [[Royal Navy]]. Built as [[United States Coast Guard]] '''Lake-class cutters''', in 1941 these ships were loaned to the [[Royal Navy]] as [[antisubmarine warfare]] escort ships. The transfers took place at the [[Brooklyn Navy Yard]]; the sloops were manned for transport to Britain by personnel from the damaged battleship [[HMS Malaya|''Malaya'']] which was under repair there.

The sloops were initially part of [[Western Approaches]] command used to escort convoys such as [[SL convoys]] from [[Sierra Leone]] to [[Liverpool]], and one, HMS ''Culver'', was sunk by a German submarine in the Atlantic while so employed January 1942.

In 1943, the nine surviving sloops were assigned to [[Operation Torch]]—the Allied invasion of [[French North Africa]]. Two—''Walney'' and ''Hartland''—were destroyed in [[Operation Reservist]] in the assault to capture [[Oran]] harbor. The remaining seven escorted [[Mediterranean]] convoys in support of the North African invasion and saw varied employment in the Atlantic until assigned to the [[Kilindini]] Escort Force in late 1943 and early 1944. They stayed in the [[Indian Ocean]] for the remainder of the war escorting trade convoys in the [[Arabian Sea]], and five served in the [[Bay of Bengal]] supporting [[Operation Dracula]] and [[Operation Zipper]] in the last months of conflict with Japan. Six were returned to the United States after the conclusion of hostilities; and one, disabled by mechanical failure, was scrapped overseas.
