Yep
Boom defence vessels or
Barrage / Gate vessels
A lot of trawlers were used as both the above anyway

About the 'boom' ships, do you mean barrage ships or ships that go boom?? In GW there is sunken ships placed to key approaches to enemy harbours. You can find some from the eastern approach to Scapa Flow (havent tried any other way to Scapa so I dont know if there´s more of them). |
Not come across them at Scapa yet there is one in Kiel canal too I think they were called blockships sunk on purpose mostly old RN ships too dated to be used - not sure what the Kiel one is tho lol
