  3. The Flower Class corvettes were designed for to be very seaworthy vessels, cheap and easy to build, easy to operate , fit for purpose. The Clemsons were very complicated, old difficult to crew. The Clemsons were not stable, and had to have some equipment removed for stability reasons. There maneuvering characteristics were awful having the turning radius of a battleship. A Royal Canadian Navy Captain had this quote, "the most dubious gift since the Trojan Horse".

  6. The British Government allowed the desecrating of many hundred wrecks. They sold the wrecks to salvors who blew up the wrecks without any concern for them being war graves. Merchant Navy lost a higher percentage of its number than the Royal Navy, the Army or the Airforce.
