Public description
Tripartite Flower Class Minehunter covers Belgium's legacy Tripartite/Flower minehunters in drawdown and transfer context. The Flower-class corvette was a British class of corvettes used during World War II, primarily for anti-submarine warfare and convoy escort duties. The Belgian Navy operated Flower-class corvettes post-war, but they have since been phased out. Operationally, the class is oriented toward anti-submarine warfare, as well as mine countermeasures.
