The Ailanthuses were wooden-hulled
net
tenders completed in 1943-1945. Their designation jumped back and forth
between "yard net tenders" (YT) and "net layers" (AN), perhaps because
their duties rarely took them out of a Navybase, yet at 1100 tons
displacement they were rather large to be treated as yard craft.
