HMS Woodbridge Haven (K.654) was a Royal Navy Coastal Forces depot ship built in 1945. Originally designed as a Loch-class anti-submarine frigate, the ship was converted to be an auxiliary for the Coastal Forces after the end of World War II. Woodbridge Haven displaced 1,650 tons, measuring 307 ft (94 m) long, 38.5 ft (11.7 m) wide, and with a draft of 13 ft (4.0 m). It had two diesel engines which provided 5,500 HP to two screw propellers, allowing for a speed of 19.5 knots. The ship was armed with a single 4-inch gun and six 20mm anti-aircraft guns. It was manned by a complement of 103 crew.[1][2]
