Hi all, does anyone have any more information on the service history of these tugs in the second world war? Also known as the Resolve class, they were laid down during the First World War, but not completed before its end. I’m unsure of their number, 5 but possible 6 ships, The tugs were named as below, the little I know is Resolve – pennant W85, maybe Portsmouth Respond – pennant W92, based Malta, Alexandria 1943-46 Retort – pennant W84 Rollicker – pennant W00 Roysterer – pennant W91 All scrapped in the 1950’s And possibly Rollcall, sold to commercial interests and renamed as Romsey, see Royal Navy Support and Harbour vessels of World War 1, based on British Warships, 1914-1919 by Dittmar and Colledge Rollcall – renamed as Minotaure (French) captured at Bordeaux, and used in Channel Islands by the Germans Regards Fatboy Coxy
