NOTES:

1. Canadian Naval Fairmiles were in the assigned group Q-050 to

Q-129. They were not (officially) named, until post-war at Naval Divisions; then not truly commissioned but tenders.

2. Per H.T. Lenton's Part 7 - "Coastal Forces": following numbers of Motor Launches that look like Cdn. numbers were 'war losses':

In 1940 - Q-127 - as an RN ML. See builders' nos. below.

" 1942 - Q-129 (same)

" 1943 - Q-126 (same)

But these were all RN MLs, so care needs to be taken in checking post-war not to include them as "Canadian"

3. LeBlanc Shipbuilding also built 8 Fairmile B's for RN, transferred on completion to U.S.N., in 392-399 series. Never RCN ships.

4. Also per Lenton the following were "transferred to the French Navy" in 1943-1944. These were Canadian-built Fairmile B's, were RCN ships, and returned at war's end to Canada. See histories below.

Q-052 as FFN GALANTRY

Q-062 as FFN LANGLADE

Q-063 as FFN COLOMBIER

(Q-123 as FFN ST RONAN appears in some Canadian lists,

but she was an ex-RN Fairmile.)

5. Some early U.K. build numbers were duplicates of later assignedCdn. numbers. Nos. 100 - 111 were Fairmile "A" Class (3shaft); re-used duplicated nos. show original builders as:
