Steam gun boats (SGBs) were small Royal Navy vessels built from 1940 to 1942 for Coastal Forces during the Second World War. The class consisted of nine steam-powered torpedo boats. They were developed in parallel with the 35-metre long Fairmile D motor torpedo boats ("dog boats"), specifically due to the need to hunt down German E-boats at a time of scarcity of suitable diesel engines. While sixty were planned, only an initial batch of nine were ordered on 8 November 1940, of which seven were completed.

  • Steam Gun Boat o SGB (letteralmente "cannoniera a vapore" in lingua inglese) fu la designazione data a una classe di unità leggere della Royal Navy britannica, impiegabili nei ruoli di motocannoniera e motosilurante. Sviluppate nel 1942, in piena seconda guerra mondiale, le SGB erano unità deputate principalmente al contrasto delle motosiluranti tedesche (S-Boot) nella regione del canale de La Manica. La loro particolarità, che le distingueva dalle altre classi di motocannoniere e motosiluranti della Royal Navy, era quella di impiegare un sistema propulsivo basato su due turbine a vapore allimentate da una caldaia, invece che su motori diesel; questa soluzione si dimostrò alla prova dei fatti priva di reali vantaggi rispetto alla propulsione diesel, e la costruzione delle SGB venne abbandonata in favore delle più semplici motocannoniere classe Fairmile D sviluppate in contemporanea. Delle 60 SGB inizialmente progettate solo 9 furono ordinate a vari cantieri navali britannici e sette effettivamente completate e immesse in servizio; un'unità andò perduta per cause belliche, le altre furono poco dopo la fine delle ostilità.
