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.
