Прибрежные силы Второй мировой войны

Прибрежные войска были подразделением Королевского флота, созданного во время Второй мировой войны . Он состоял из небольшого прибрежного оборонного суда, которое военно-морской флот обозначал такими именами, как: запуск двигателя, высокоскоростной запуск, спасение воздушного моря , моторная лодка и моторная торпедная лодка. Он не включал посадку, траулеры или специально построенные шахты. Другие флоты управляли эквивалентными лодками, но классифицировали и назвали их несколько по -другому.

В этой статье пытается собрать вместе для сравнительных целей, некоторые статистические данные, касающиеся прибрежных сил разных военно -морских островов. Это начинается с вышеупомянутого британского определения «прибрежных сил» и попыток определить эквивалентные лодки в других военно -морских флотах.

Post war

Post war there seemed to be no need for small coastal force vessels. They were generally withdrawn and their functions taken over by larger corvettes, frigates, and destroyers. A few remained in service with Third World navies. The RN's last boats built in any number were the Dark-class fast patrol boats of the mid-1950s; Coastal Forces was reduced in 1957 to a few vessels.

In time, the need for smaller vessels re-asserted itself, as in this experience of the Royal Australian Navy:

The motor launches quickly passed out of service after the war and coastal patrol duties once more devolved upon larger RAN ships. From the early 1960s the Ton class minesweepers took on significant patrol responsibilities, particularly during the Indonesian Confrontation from 1962-1966. This experience led directly to the decision to reintroduce patrol boats to the RAN inventory, as the minesweepers were expensive to maintain and their engines were not designed to loiter on patrol.

Coastal boats reappeared in navies around the world now generally adapted to the need to "patrol" and designated as "patrol boats".
