This is a list of Flower-class corvettes and Modified Flower-class corvettes. It should be stressed that all ships were initially built for the British, Canadian, French and American navies, so that all mentions of other nations' navies refer to ships which were transferred to those countries later in their lives.

The Flower class of the Second World War was a class of 271 Corvettes for escort and submarine defense, which served in the British Royal Navy and allied navies. It is also sometimes referred to as the Gladiolus class after the first batch of Corvette of this type at Smiths Dock Company. The order for 56 boats of the class in July and August 1939 shortly before the war began was one of the most extensive British naval missions in peace.
The boats were a military development from the Whalers Southern pride and were built according to civilian standards, which enabled the integration of a large number of shipyards. 30 shipyards completed Corvettes of the Flower class, 12 of them in Canada and one in France.After the end of the war, a variety of boats were still used in smaller navies. For this, about 50 were converted to whalers and used under British, Norwegian, Dutch, South African and the flag of Panama.Only the Corvette HMCS Sackville of the Royal Canadian Navy has survived as a museum ship in Halifax, Nova Scotia.Scale: 1/72Material: PlasticBattery: 4 x AA batteries (sold separately)Lighting: Available (detection light, radar rotation, Morse code, etc.).
1:72 scale is big for any ship kit, let alone a 47-man naval vessel like a corvette, so it’s no surprise that the assembled model measures some 850 mm (33.5 in) long. But it’s the parts-count that is somewhat astonishing - at 1214 parts, it may take longer to put together than one of the real ships. The prototype took more than five months to build, but mass-production soon cut this to a new hull down the slipway every 23 days or so. Mind you, there’s a big difference between a shipyard and model bench, so you may be forgiven for taking somewhat longer to build the Revell kit.
