H.M.S."ADVENTURE"
Cruiser-minelayer
This ship, the only vessel of her type, was
laid down at Devonport at the end of 1922
and completed in May 1927. The stern was
originally flat, but this was subsequently
redesigned and rebuilt in 1932. During the
Great War the more extensive minelaying
operations were carried out by large
converted merchant ships and liners, and
even old warships. The Adventure has been
specially constructed for this particular
work. In addition to her equipment of mines,
she mounts four 4-7-inch anti-aircraft guns
and a number of smaller calibre. The mines,
of which 340 are carried, are stored below,
mounted on their sinkers on special racks
which permit of them being dropped through
the  doors in the stern of the vessel. Her
tonnage is 6,740, and her speed 28 knots
with 40,000 h.p.
