Ships in this class had a displacement of 545 tons, a top speed of 12 knots, a crew of 40 men, and armament of one 12-pounder AA gun, three 20 mm Oerlikon AA guns and 30 depth charges. They were nearly identical to the Isles class trawlers, of which they are usually considered a subclass.Three of the Shakespearian class trawlers were war losses: Coriolanus, Horatio and Laertes.
