Ship No 305

Was another cancelled order for a Grab Hopper Dredger for Greymouth.

While the five previous orders had been quickly cancelled this was to make way for the huge war effort to supply the Royal Navy with warships of all types, and along with the two “Tree Class” armed trawlers H.M.S. Hazel and H.M.S. Hickory, there was an immediate order for the supply of four “Flower Class” Corvettes.
