HMS Cadmus (J230) was a steam turbine-powered Algerine-class minesweeper during the Second World War.

Launched in 1942 the ship survived the war and was sold to Belgium in 1950 as Georges Lecointe (M901).

The engines produced a total of 2,000 indicated horsepower (1,500 kW) and gave a maximum speed of 16.5 knots (30.6 km/h; 19.0 mph).

They carried a maximum of 660 long tons (671 t) of fuel oil that gave them a range of 5,000 nautical miles (9,300 km; 5,800 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).

The latter guns were in short supply when the first ships were being completed and they often got a proportion of single mounts.
