==Background==
(詳細はWorld War II were different from 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.〔
