Project history

In 1952 the USA agreed to allocate thirty-six coastal minesweepers of the Adjutant class to the Marine Nationale under MDAP. 30 were delivered in 1953-54, but of the remaining six, four were returned to the USA after their delivery to Indo-China (two were subsequently transferred to Japan) and two were re-allocated to Spain.

They were constructed of wood and non-magnetic alloys.
