HMS Clacton was a {{sclass-|Bangor|minesweeper}}s built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War.

Design and description

The Bangor class was designed as a small minesweeper that could be easily built in large numbers by civilian shipyards; as steam turbines were difficult to manufacture, the ships were designed to accept a wide variety of engines. Clacton displaced {{convert|656|LT|t}} at standard load and {{convert|820|LT|t}} at deep load. The ship had an overall length of {{convert|174|ft|m|1}}, a beam of {{convert|28|ft|6|in|m|1}} and a draught of {{convert|10|ft|3|in|m|1}}.^[1] The ship's complement consisted of 60 officers and ratings.^[2]

She was powered by two Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The engines produced a total of {{convert|2000|shp|lk=in}} and gave a maximum speed of {{convert|16|kn|lk=in}}. Clacton carried a maximum of {{convert|160|LT|t|0}} of fuel oil that gave her a range of {{convert|2800|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|10|kn}}.^[3]

The turbine-powered Bangors were armed with a {{convert|3|in|mm|adj=on}} anti-aircraft gun and a single QF 2-pounder (4 cm) AA gun. In some ships the 2-pounder was replaced a single or twin 20 mm Oerlikon AA gun, while most ships were fitted with four additional single Oerlikon mounts over the course of the war.^[3] For escort work, her minesweeping gear could be exchanged for around 40 depth charges.^[2]

Construction and career

HMS Clacton was built by Ailsa Shipbuilding Co. Ltd., at Troon, Scotland and launched on 18 December 1941. Thus far she has been only the second ship of the Royal Navy named after the Essex town of Clacton-on-Sea. HMS Clacton was in the Mediterranean off the east coast of Corsica, on passage from La Maddalena to Bastia on 31 December 1943. She struck a mine at 0832 hours and sank immediately. Three officers and 29 ratings were killed, with the survivors being rescued by HMS Polruan.
