Wooden hull. Served rather as MGBs without TT. After building of original four boats it was planned to build two new diesel-powered boats and to modernize one old boat (T206) to diesel power. But after the fire aboard the modernized boat the new T206 was laid down.

Modernizations

early 1970s, many boats were armed with (1 x 1 - 40/60 Mk 3, (1 - 3) x 1 - 20/70 Mk 10) or (2 - 4) x 1 - 20/70 Mk 10 only
