Brave-class fast patrol boat
The Brave-class fast patrol boats were a class of two motor torpedo boats that were the last of their type for the Royal Navy (RN) Coastal Forces division. They formed the basis for a series of simpler boats, which were widely built for export.
==Brave class==
The Brave class followed the of convertible motor torpedo boats/gunboats. They were larger than the Dark class, and differed in being powered by gas turbine engines rather than the diesel engines of the Dark class. (Gas turbine propulsion had been tested in the of two experimental fast patrol boats). Three Bristol Proteus engines propelled the Braves to a maximum of . Like the Dark class, the Braves had a mahogany skin over aluminium frame construction. They were built to be able to be used as either Motor Torpedo Boats or Motor Gun Boats. For the former role they had a 40mm Bofors gun, four torpedoes (21 inch diameter) and two depth charges, in the latter two 40 mm guns and two torpedoes. It was planned to arm the ships with a new gun based on the 20 pounder tank gun in a stabilised mounting, but this was abandoned.〔Gardiner and Chumbley 1995, p. 539.〕〔Blackman 1960, pp. 48–49.〕
The Royal Navy abandoned the idea of large scale coastal forces in 1957, so only two Braves were built for the Royal Navy. The two Braves, along with a single member of the Dark class, formed the Coastal Forces Trials and Special Service Squadron, based as Gosport. These were used to maintain proficiency in Coastal Forces operations, also being used as targets and for fishery protection.〔〔Blackman 1962, p. 286.〕 The two Braves were retired from use in 1970.〔
