Line 1:

The '''Tree class trawlers''' were a type of anti-submarine vessel which served in the [[Royal Navy]] during [[World War II]]. They were nearly adentical to the [[Isles class trawler]]s, of which they are usually considered a subclass.

Six tree Tree class trawlers were lost during the war: ''Almond, Ash, Chestnut, Hickory, Juniper'' and ''Pine''. One (''Mangrove'') was transferred to Portugal in 1943.

By the end of 1946, only ''Olive'' and ''Walnut'' remained in service with the Royal Navy. <ref>Anthony Preston (ed.), ''Jane's Fighting Ships of World War II'', p. 78.
