Renaming and High Speed Launches?
Why were they renamed, and why in 1942?

1942 isn't a significant date for the HSL overall. These were RAF boats, not RN, so there's not a great deal of scope for confusion. Also they'd been in service since pre-war days. At most, 1942 is the date for the design changeover from the Type 2 (the 63 ft whaleback HSL, as linked here) to the Type 3 68ft HSL with the full length superstructure.
