==Service history==
The first two vessels of the class were constructed by Chantier Maritime de St. Laurent at [[Ile d'Orleans, Quebec]]. ''Llewellyn'' and ''Lloyd George'' were both [[Ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 24 August 1942 at [[Quebec City]] and escorted a [[convoy]] from Quebec City to [[Sydney, Nova Scotia]] before arriving at [[Halifax, Nova Scotia]].{{sfn|Macpherson|Barrie|2002|pp=201–202}} Both vessels' names begin with a double l, a reflection of their minesweeping gear. They would be the only two vessels that carried the name as the eight minesweepers constructed in [[British Columbia]] did not follow this pattern.{{sfn|Macpherson|Barrie|2002|p=201}}
