Yes, you're absolutely right. I didn't mean to belittle the significance of small warships, just wanted to share a curious bit of statistics, that's all ;)

Will you be doing the gunboat and minesweeper conversions?

Thanks, Hood!
Here's another small warship, a Patrol Craft Sweeper, that was also used as a subchaser.

Amazing, I love the details on this one.

Well, it's hard to tell, you know, 'cause I don't work on one ship at a time. I know I finished it last night but it was already started before. So I'd say 3-4 hours give or take not including time for research and gathering references.

Eight of the SC-497 class subchasers were modified into motor gunboats; anti-sub weapons were ditched in favor of bigger 3"/23 "boat guns".
