Remove ads

The Dance class of World War II were armed trawlers of the Royal Navy. They were used for anti-submarine (A/S) and minesweeping work and were nearly identical to the Isles class, of which they are usually considered a subclass[citation needed]. They were very similar to Tree class trawlers, and were only more armed.
