The Hunt was one of the best known classes of destroyer escorts of the Royal Navy from World War II. 86 Hunts of four types were completed, of which 72 were commissioned into the Royal Navy. The remaining 14 were transferred to allied navies: Norwegian, Polish, Greek, and Free French. 20 ships of the Hunt Type II class were ordered on September 1939. The second, final batch of 16 was ordered in December 1939.
