Ship project history: The main feature of these sloops was the symmetric outline profile complicating definition of a current course of the ship.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: Herald (ex-Merry Hampton) was scuttled in 2/1942 by own crew but salvaged by Japanese and recommissioned as Heyo in October 1942. Ship was mined in 1944.
