Auk-class minesweeper
open-in-new
<h2 id="design-and-development">Design and development</h2> <p>Prior to the United States entering World War II, they had produced two ships of the <a href="/facts/Raven-class_minesweeper/qsvLHFYY"><i>Raven</i>-class</a> minesweeper for testing and evaluation. From these two examples it was decided that the use of <a href="/facts/Diesel-electric/0AKK4nsE">diesel-electric</a> engines to power the ship and the <a href="/facts/Minesweeping/dbmsqbME">minesweeping</a> equipment, rather than separate geared diesel engines to propel the ship and diesel generators to energize the minesweeping equipment, would work better. The <a href="/facts/Royal_Navy/Xdy8YCH7">Royal Navy</a> placed an order for 32 of these <a href="/facts/Minesweeper/6xFLcTF2">minesweepers</a> from the United States, <i>BAM-1</i> - <i>BAM-32</i>. Because of the additional equipment, the <a href="/facts/Displacement_(ship)/19jbfNuM">displacement</a> was raised from 810 <a href="/facts/Long_ton/5ajqnrGq">long tons</a> (820 <a href="/facts/Tonne/gMymLmWv">t</a>) on the <i>Raven</i>s, to 890 long tons (900 t) on what would come to be known as the <i>Auk</i> class in the USN, and the <i>Catherine</i> class in the RN.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> </p><p>The <i>Auk</i> class displaced 890 long tons, with a length of 221 ft 1 in (67.39 m), a beam of 32 ft 2 in (9.80 m), and a draft of 10 ft 9 in (3.28 m). They had a maximum speed of 18.1 <a href="/facts/Knot_(unit)/Sho0TF2y">kn</a> (33.5 km/h; 20.8 mph). The <i>Auk</i>s armament varied. All were equipped with a single <a href="/facts/3%2522%2f50_caliber_gun/JfENPW6H">3-inch (76 mm)</a> gun on the bow, but many had their aft 3-inch gun removed or replaced by two <a href="/facts/Bofors_40_mm_Automatic_Gun_L%2f60/zmDs1A9M">40 mm (1.57 in) Bofors</a> guns. Originally designed with four <a href="/facts/Oerlikon_20_mm_cannon/UL9r7E0U">20 mm (0.79 in) Oerlikon</a> cannons, some ships mounted as many as eight.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p><p>Five manufacturers provided the diesel-electric engines used in the class.
