HMTS Courland Bay CG2 was the second of two vessels built by Messrs Vosper – both completed 20.2.1965. (CG1 was named HMTS Trinity). Both vessels were deleted in 1986. 102ft 7in x 19ft 8in x 5ft 6in. 2 shafts 2 Paxman ‘Ventura’ diesels, 2900hp = 24 knts

There were a further 2 of this class (CG3 HMTS Chaguaramus and CG4 HMTS Bucco Reef). Slightly larger at 103ft 0in x 19ft 10in x 5ft 10in – with same machinery and performance. These last two were deleted 1988 and 1992 respectively.

Hi there,
 
Interesting, the T and T coast guard are getting new vessels built at Portsmouth I think.
