The Castle class was intended as a series of six offshore patrol vessels for the Royal Navy, designed in response to criticism of the previous Island class. In the event, only two ships were built, HMS Leeds Castle and HMS Dumbarton Castle. These had significant improvements over the Island class - they are 300 tonnes larger, more stable in heavy seas, 3 knots faster and are fitted with a large flight deck that is capable of supporting a Sea King. For brief periods, the ships can accommodate up to 120 troops. Their primary mission is to serve with the Fishery Protection Squadron, protecting both the fishing fleets and the oil and gas fields of the North Sea. In addition, they can also serve as minelayers, and have detergent spraying facilities on board for dispersing oil slicks. Since the Falklands War, one ship has been kept long term in the Falkland Islands as a guardship. Leeds Castle and Dumbarton Castle rotate the role on a three-yearly basis, although the ship's crew usually does a six month rotation. At present ( 2004), Leeds Castle is serving in the role. The 'Castle' class is to be replaced by a River class-based vessel, HMS Clyde. ...more on Wikipedia about "Castle class patrol vessel"

The Commencement Bay-class escort aircraft carriers were based on the Maritime Commission T3 type tanker hull, which gave them a displacement of approximately 23,000 tons and a length of 557 feet (170 m). Unlike earlier CVE classes which were laid down as something else and converted to aircraft carriers mid-construction the Commencement Bays were built as carriers from the keel up. They entered service late in World War II— USS Commencement Bay launched on 9 May 1944—so most of them saw little or no operational service. Thirty-three of them were ordered but many were cancelled prior to completion. After the war they were seen as potential helicopter, anti-submarine, or auxiliary (transport) carriers. They were similar to the Sangamon class carriers but some of the Sangamon's engineering shortcomings were addressed. ...more on Wikipedia about "Commencement Bay class escort carrier"
