HMS Dianthus (K95)
HMS ''Dianthus'' was a Flower-class corvette of the Royal Navy. She was launched on 9 July 1940 from the Leith Docks on the Firth of Forth and named after the genus of flowering plants including Carnation, Pink, and Sweet William. The ship escorted trade convoys between Newfoundland and the Western Approaches through the Battle of the Atlantic wolf pack attacks of the winter of 1942-43.
==Background==
(詳細はWorld War II were different to earlier and more traditional sail-driven corvettes.〔Ossian, Robert,("Complete List of Sailing Vessels" ), www.thepirateking.com, Retrieved 13 April 2011.〕〔Fitzsimons, Bernard, ed. ''The Illustrated Encyclopedia of 20th Century Weapons & Warfare'' (London: Phoebus, 1978), Volume 11, pp.1137–1142.〕〔''Jane's Fighting Ships of World War II'', New Jersey: Random House, 1996, ISBN 0-517-67963-9, page 68.〕 The "corvette" designation was created by the French in the 19th century as a class of small warships; the Royal Navy borrowed the term for a period but discontinued its use in 1877.〔Blake, Nicholas and Lawrence, Richard, ''The Illustrated Companion to Nelson's Navy'', Stackpole Books, 2005, pp 39-63. ISBN 0-8117-3275-4〕 During the hurried preparations for war in the late 1930s, Winston Churchill reactivated the corvette class, needing a name for smaller ships used in an escort capacity, in this case based on a whaling ship design.〔Chesneau, Roger and Gardiner, Robert, ''Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships (1922-1946)'', US Naval Institute Press (June 1980), p. 62 ISBN 0-87021-913-8〕 The generic name "flower" was used to designate the class of these ships, which – in the Royal Navy – were named after flowering plants.
