    You have arisen in triumph! Stand forth and receive the garland of your victory, and post a new pic.

    Outrageous class. I'll say Glorious. Then I'll say Courageous. Then, just for spite, I'll say Furious.

    You, sir, are on a roll. As uncomfortable as that sounds, it's still up to you to post the next picture.

    She was rumoured to be Canda's first corvette and was one of the first to be built in Canada for Canada. She is a flower class though. Have a couple more guessees and if noone gets her I'll put Mike in.

    May not be able to get back online until tomorrow, so Mike can put one up for being the first to name a Flower class corvette.

    Looks like Collingwood was the first Flower completed in Canada: 9 Nov 40 at Collingwood yard.
    Whether that's right or not, I defer to Mike for the next pic.

    Here is one. She had many names, under a few countries, so I'll take any of a few. This pic was taken with her time in a navy not previously discussed in this thread.

    Ah! I see, she was ordered by the RN but transferred to the RCN on completion.

    She could be anything from a coastguard to a gunboat a minesweeper or even a tug .... but I can't find anything that looks exactly like her. Some near misses
    Finnish Turumnaa
    Portuguese Lagos
    Lituanianian Prezidentas Smetona

    Cosest resemblance I could find is Estonian Virsaitis but as she was an ex German M minesweeper she must have lots of sisters

    Yes, the Prezidentas Smetona is correct.
    Other names where the German minesweeper M59, or under Soviet control Pirmūnas or Koral

    In the "not yet a warship" theme who is she and why is she missing her bow?
