Standard armament in the S and T emergency flotillas

The fifth and sixth emergency flotillas added ships while Savage tested an unusual main gun fit.

Notes

These were the fifth and sixth emergency flotillas, with ships laid down in 1941 and 1942 and most entering service in 1943. The typical fit retained 4.7-inch guns and two quadruple banks of 21-inch torpedoes. Bofors and Oerlikon guns gave close-range air defence. Several ships later served with the Dutch and Norwegian navies.
