The Shakespearian-class trawler was a series of anti-submarine naval trawlers of the Royal Navy. Ships in the class had a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert"., a top speed of Script error: No such module "convert". and a crew of 40 men. The trawlers were armed with a QF 12-pounder [Script error: No such module "convert".] gun, three 20 mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns and thirty depth charges. The class was nearly identical to the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".s, of which they are usually considered a subclass. Coriolanus, Horatio and Laertes were lost during the war. Othello, was transferred to Italy in 1946 and Rosalind to Kenya, also in 1946. By the end of that year, only Hamlet and Macbeth remained in service with the Royal Navy; both were sold in 1947.
