Cybele-class mine destructor vessel : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cybele-class mine destructor vessel
The ''Cybele'' class was a class of trimaran ships, constructed by the Royal Navy during World War II for the purpose of clearing minefields. Referred to as Mine Destructor Vessels, two ships of the class, and were built in 1944; one was lost following D-Day, while the other survived the war only to be scrapped shortly thereafter. ==Design and development== Officially designated as mine destructor vessels,〔 the ''Cybele'' class was a large trimaran vessel,〔Preston 1987, p.139.〕 constructed using a steel lattice truss framework.〔 They were intended to be towed through minefields that used pressure mines, creating a pressure wave that would detonate the mines; the open lattice construction of the ships would, according to the design, allow the blast to pass through the vessel without causing damage to it.〔 The ships were constructed under conditions of the utmost secrecy;〔Gardiner and Brown 2004, p.163.〕 they were originally referred to as 'Sterling craft',〔Keegan 1977, p.174.〕 then later designated as being part of the ''Algerine'' class of fleet minesweepers;〔Elliott 1979, p.88.〕 their design was still classified as late as the late 1960s.〔Colledge 1969, p.18.〕
