The Hunt class is a class of thirteen mine countermeasure vessels (MCMV) of the Royal Navy. They combine the separate role of the traditional minesweeper and that of the active minehunter in one hull. They have a secondary role as fisheries patrol vessels.
They are the largest warships ever built out of glass reinforced plastic and are the last in operation to use the famous Napier Deltic diesel engine. HMS Quorn (M41) was the last ship of the class launched.
