Following the successful operation at sea of the Metrovick F2-based 2500 hp Gatric marine gas turbine, the Royal Navy ordered four larger sets with a maximum operational rating of 4500 shp. Developed from the Metrovick F2/4 Beryl axial-flow aircraft engine; the G2s were installed in the Motor Gunboats 'Bold Pioneer1 and 'Bold Pathfinder; the former going to sea in 1951.
