They were essentially the same size as the T class, arranged for fast, simple construction and to utilize much of the materials and equipment set aside for the T boats. They had a high, flared bow for excellent sea performance and had effective air conditioning, essential for Fa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
