HM Motor Gun Boat 2007
HM Motor Gun Boat 2007 was a Motor Gun Boat operated by Royal Navy Coastal Forces during the Second World War. She was initially built as one of eight gun boats ordered by the Turkish Navy, but which went on to see service in the North Sea as fast blockade runners. She was initially classed as the merchant vessel ''Gay Corsair'', crewed by men of the merchant navy and sailing under the red ensign. She became HM Motor Gunboat ''507'' after being acquired by the Royal Navy, and finally HM Motor Gun Boat ''2007''. She was wrecked under this name in 1945.
==Construction==
''Gay Corsair'' was built by Camper and Nicholson as part of an order of eight Motor Gun Boats placed by the Turkish Navy. She was launched on 24 August 1943 but the outbreak of the Second World War led to the craft being taken over by the Royal Navy and completed to take part in Operation Bridford.〔 Bridford was an attempt to bring quantities of ball bearings out of neutral Sweden, past the German blockade. The ball bearings, and other specialist equipment manufactured in Sweden, were needed by British engineering plants, but while some supplies were being flown in these were not sufficient to meet the demand.〔 The initial five boats taken from Camper and Nicholson were modified to accommodate greater quantities of cargo, and were prepared as blockade runners. Political exigencies meant that the boats were classed as merchant vessels operated by crews drawn from Hull trawlermen and officers from Ellerman Lines.〔
