US Coast Guard wrote:
These cutters were designed by the US Coast Guard and were, in many respects, modernized 240-footers.
...
Initially this class was made up of ten cutters, all of which were transferred to Great Britain under Lend-Lease in 1941.
...
Three vessels were lost while in British service, one was not returned, and the remainder turned back to the Coast Guard in 1946.

These cutters became the Banff class sloops of the Royal Navy during the WW2. From what I learned they featured several variants of armament and camo. I might give a shot at drawing one or two of them if I collect enough reference material, so please feel free to PM me if you have anything to share.

Excellent work. I concur with maomatic, it'd be nice to see how the Lake class cutters appeared in British service. :)

That is a very nice drawing WhyMe.
Can't wait to see the RN service version too!
