During World War I, several hull trawlers were sunk by U-boats, including the British fishing vessel HMT "Kingston" and the HMT "Frances". These trawlers were often targeted because they were operating in waters that were strategic for military operations. The sinking of these vessels highlighted the dangers faced by civilian ships during the war, as U-boats expanded their campaigns against not just military targets but also merchant and fishing vessels.
