The Bathursts were minesweeper corvettes constructed from 1941 on in Australian shipyards. About 60 of these corvettes were eventually constructed, 20 of which went to the Admiralty (with Australian crews), six of which went to the Royal Indian Navy, and the remainder of which were retained by the Royal Australian Navy. They were versatile ships used for minesweeping, patrolling, and escort.
