Requisitioned trawlers

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". There were also 215 trawlers of no specific class[14] These were commercial trawlers that the Admiralty requisitioned. The Royal Navy classified requisitioned trawlers by manufacturer, although such classes were more diverse than traditional naval classifications. Seventy-two requisitioned trawlers were lost.
