The Venturer class minesweepers were commercial trawlers converted to minesweeper service for the Royal Navy in 1978.
There were 2 members of the class:
- HMS Venturer (1978) - originally Suffolk Harvester
- HMS Saint David (1978) - originally Suffolk Monarch
They reverted to their former names and owner in November 1983 and were converted into oil rig safety/standby vessels.
