The Black Swan class were intended to be general-purpose sloops, capable of both minesweeping, convoy escort, and coastal escort. They were somewhat larger than previous sloops, mostly to give them the machinery needed for enough speed to pursue surfaced submarines. They could quickly swap some of their minesweeping gear for additional depth charges or vice versa at their base. Designated as Convoy Escorts, they are regarded by Friedman (2006) as the most successful of the British wartime escort classes.

Many of those serving in the war against Japan were Royal Indian Navy units.
