The '''Claymore Class Corvette''' is a specialist [[Imperial Navy]] escort craft; as are all [[Escort|Corvettes]]. Corvettes in general are a bit smaller and less powerful than [[Frigate]]s, but are better equipped than some other ships, such as light Raider vessels. The Claymore is seen as a standard Corvette. It is rugged and uses a simplistic design which allows easy repairs; making the Claymore an extremely practical vessel to manufacture during wartime.<sup>1</sup>
More than fifty of these ships were built during the Angevin Crusade in the [[Calixis Sector]] to help ease losses in the [[Sword Class Frigate]] squadrons. Large quantities of these ships can be made with haste by [[Mechanicus]] mobile shipyards and small civilian shipyards.<sup>1</sup>
