Insect class gunboat
The Insect class patrol boats (or Large China Gunboats: the Fly class were Small China Gunboats) were a class of small but well-armed Royal Navy ships designed for use in shallow rivers or inshore. They were intended for use on the Danube (the name was to disguise their function).
