Line 73:

HMS ''Stork'' was completed as an unarmed [[survey vessel]], and was only armed after the outbreak of war. The third ship in the class was launched as HMS ''Bittern'', and completed as designed, but was lost to air attacks in the [[Norwegian campaign]] in 1940. HMS ''Enchantress'' survived the war and was sold into civilian service in 1946, being renamed ''Lady Enchantress''. She was broken up in 1952. HMS ''Stork'' remained in service until being broken up in 1958.
