Ensign No. 3 needs no introduction and every person with any sort of interest in warships has heard of the 'Flower' corvette; the most famous type of escort vessel ever built. The class as a whole was worked so hard on convoy duty that by 1945 a large number of the class were completely worn out. Although uncomfortable in the extreme they had one invaluable asset they could turn sharper than a U-boat. This and a good radius of action made them formidable opponents.
