		Receiving permission, he approached the trawler from her port quarter, with his ship at “darken ship” condition, and challenged the trawler with “alpha-alpha” via flashing light to identify itself.
		The trawler was firing 85mm recoilless rifle and.60-caliber machine gun fire at the minesweeper, visible by their respective red and brilliant green tracer.
		The trawler was a ship approximately 190 feet long, so the navy got quite excited about the battle because it was two ships engaging in a sea battle in the classic beam to beam encounter for the first time since World War 2.

		The Royal Navy had previously found that the standard commercial fishing trawler was well suited for military use, as were many of her original crew.
		HMS Erin, of 394 tonnes, was built in 1933 and became an anti-submarine trawler in 1940.
		This was thought to be due to sabotage by Spanish workers in the dockyard, or by attack from the Italian mini submarine 'charioteers' operating from the nearby Spanish port of Algeciras.

	Deans Marine H.M.T. Royal Marine. Military class Armed Trawler
		The military class of Naval Trawlers were constructed by Cook Welton and Gemmel Ltd of Beverly who launched 75 Trawlers to Royal navy designs, based on commercial ships.
		Heavy demands were made on the Trawlers during the war years for A/S and M/S work in the opening stages of the war and they proceeded far afield, even to providing the A/S screen for some of the ocean convoys.
		Their weatherly qualities always of the highest order, often resulted in their being the only form of escort operative in bad weather and they could keep to the seas when even destroyers were compelled to seek shelter.

	I. Vaagso (Norway) Raid: Ch. 3. Commando Operations \| British Commandos, WWII Military Intelligence Service, Special ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Rifle fire from this Armed Trawler was directed at their boat on the way in, but this was effectively stopped by Lewis gunfire from Destroyer A. On boarding the Fohn it was found that the Captain was dead but the crew had escaped onto the road, only 30 yards from the shore.
		It is considered that when there is a likelihood of meeting with an armed trawler, or with armed trawlers, one destroyer should be told off to deal solely with the armed trawler and that the Captain of that ship should be fully instructed in the importance of his task.
		The best method of dealing with these trawlers appears to be that their bridge and upper deck should be "plastered" with light fire, i.e.

	COFEPOW - Ships - The Dai Mogi Maru
		Outside the harbor the convoy formed up and consisted of only the two freighters carrying the three nationalities of POWs and the Jap Guards and an armed trawler type vessel about eighty feet in length whose armament consisted of a single gun located on the foredeck which appeared to be a three inch piece.
		Almost simultaneously, there was a hang-fire on the forward gun (a hang-fire occurs when an attempt is made to fire the shell and, due to a defective primer (igniting charge) in the base of the shell, it does not fire when struck by the firing pin).
		The breechman opened the breech of the gun to eject the faulty shell, which was caught by one of the gun crew, and the shell exploded in his arms killing most and seriously wounding the rest of the gun crew.

	Norwegian Storm Over Russian Trawler Dies Down - New York Times
		By today the drama seemed largely to have ebbed, but not before a minor incident with a private fishing trawler had surged into a diplomatic storm, with a response from the military fleets of both Norway and Russia, and a confrontation almost reminiscent of the cold war - but enacted, this time, as farce.
		Ivanov spoke as an aged Russian trawler, hotly pursued by the Norwegian coast guard and navy, fled across the Barents Sea toward the territorial waters of its homeland.
		Norway had arrested the trawler, the Elektron, near the Spitsbergen archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, on suspicion of poaching by exceeding strict quotas.

		The specific information that interests me is the history of the trawler (from birth to destruction), pictures of the ship and the names of the men who sailed her and if any are still alive.
		Trawler information is a particular problem and your site has filled in most, if not all the gaps for your grandfather's ships as well as the other three lost around Namsos.
		Do you know if any photos of the Trawler are available as he is going to have his Uncles medals mounted and put in a frame with a photo of his uncle and he thought if a photo of the ship was in frame it would set it off nicely.

		The German trawler, V-1609 according to a visitor to my website, who has access to some good primary sources, was behind her at this time, and to prevent the crew from being able to get in the lifeboats (and thereby scuttle), the trawler started to fire across her boat deck.
		Another German trawler came to, later Skytteren drifted north along the coast, alight from bow to stern, and around noon on Apr. 1 she went to the bottom.
		These turned out to be German armed trawlers, signalling for her to stop, and when she ignored the signal the trawlers sent up flashes, getting ready to fire.
