The Round Table class was a small class of trawlers built for the British Royal Navy in 1941/2.[1] The class were built by two Aberdeen shipbuilding firms Hall, Russell & Company and J. Lewis & Sons Ltd.[2]

All were built to a 1936 design by Hall, Russell & Co but were commissioned as minesweepers.[3] Two of the class, Sir Galahad and Sir Lancelot were converted to danlayers.[1]

The ships (and assigned pennant numbers[4]) in the class were:

  • Sir Agravaine (T230) launched 5 March 1942
  • Sir Galahad (T226) launched 18 December 1941
  • Sir Gareth (T227) launched 19 January 1942
  • Sir Geraint (T240) launched 15 April 1942
  • Sir Kay (T241) launched 26 October 1942
  • Sir Lamorack (T242) launched 23 November 1942
