Venturer class minesweeper

Venturer class minesweeper

The Venturer class minesweepers were commercial trawlers converted to minesweeper service for the Royal Navy in 1978.

There were 2 members of the class:
*HMS Venturer (1978) - originally "Suffolk Harvester"
*HMS Saint David (1978) - originally "Suffolk Monarch"

They reverted to their former names and owner in November 1983 and were converted into oil rig safety/standby vessels.
