WW2 Minesweeping Trawlers

[Totleyletters]

Sorry, it's CAULONIA.
Another error in my list is HMS GarolA, not E

The other one [Charmain]we're having difficulty reading. It could be Ch or Cl? Chass???? I favour the Ch at the beginning but the writing's so bad I think we may need to pass on this one.

Found 2 more!!

The Charmain is obviously wrong but very hard to read. It could begin Chass or Class, but equally it could be Clarr or Charr followed by 3 more letters, possibly one being an I.
With it being so indistinct perhaps it can be given a miss.

Yes, I think it could be HMS Chassiron although I'd never have worked it out!
