LOL!

I was thinking more along these lines.

It would appear they were designed for the same job. Anti-submarine patrol and convoy escort.

Have read a lot about the Flower Class convoy escorts, years ago. Nice to see a picture of Arrowhead. First image I've seen.

Those fighting ships did vital work in 1940, '41, and '42, that is for sure. So darn small, so slow. Very uncomfortable. Very serious.
