High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Coastal Class (often known as the C-Class or simply the 'Coastals') were a class of blimp used by the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) during World War I. The C class blimp operated by the United States Navy after the war was a completely unrelated design. In total 35 Coastals were built, all at the RNAS station at Kingsnorth, Kent. Entering service in 1916, the Coastal class remained in widespread service until 1918, with a few members of the class still in service at the signing of the Armistice, while others were replaced by the improved C-Star class as they became unfit for service. The blimps were used for long anti-submarine patrols in the Western Approaches and English Channel, protecting convoys from German U-Boats. The Coastal class was one of the first aircraft types specifically designed to detect and attack submarines.
