  1. Having a group of navy ships named "Cabbage Class" is almost as amusing as having a ship named HMS Pansy.

  2. Excellent vid, more on hard working little corvettes please. Perhaps you could do the Bathurst Class soon? There's a preserved one named after my home town, I'm happy to take photos for you if you want them.

  3. No Flower class were built anywhere in Australia. However the Australians did build 60 Bathurst class corvettes to their own design in 8 different shipyards all around the country.

  4. Now you have given me a horrible image of a poor little corvette being mounted by a randy battleship and the corvette being crushed in the mating process.

  5. It amuses me the way Americans name their aircraft carriers (and other things) after politicians. In most other western democracies politicians are seen as unpleasant but necessary, so very few people would respect anything named after someone as dodgy as a politician. I guess that's because of cultural differences between the USA and Europe, Australia, etc.

  6. Australia didn't have Flower Class corvettes. Instead they built their own Bathurst Class corvettes.
