I'm assuming this is a minesweeper. Fiberglass and wood are used to build minesweepers, as a steel hull will set off magnetically-fused naval mines. You still have the issue of the engines, shafts, and propellers, but those have much lower magnetic effect than an entire vessel made of ferrous metal.
So this is why they're making their warships out of paper mache lately?

This is the result of two British ships crashing into each other today
UK built a Potemkin village of a navy I see.
