A THE SCHUTZE CLASS INSHORE MINESWEEPERS Built from wood and composite non-magnetic materials, the Type 340/341, though they were somewhat larger, closely resembled the last R-boats of the Second World War. They were designed to fulfill three similar functions — as minesweepers, minelayers or coastal patrol craft, in which role they were fitted, with an additional 40mm gun. EQUIPMENT AND ARMAMENT As the hull form of the class indicates, they were designed for a relatively high speed, and were powered by twin 2250bhp Mercedes-Benz diesels. They were originally to have been fitted with variable-pitch propellers, but trials with the early units proved a failure, and they received conventional constant-pitch propellers instead. TECHNICAL DATA Type: Coastal minesweeper/patrol craft Machinery: 2-shaft diesels producing 4500bhp Dimensions (overall): Length, 47.4m (155.8ft); beam, 6.9m (22.9ft) Displacement 241 t standard; 266t deep load Draught: 2.3m (7.5ft) full load Complement: 39 Speed: 25 knots (46km/h)
