HMCS Dundas

HMCS Dundas was a Flower-class corvette that served with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War.

[2][3][4] The "corvette" designation was created by the French as a class of small warships; the Royal Navy borrowed the term for a period but discontinued its use in 1877.

The 1940–41 program had water-tube boilers, which were less responsive but had more reliability in providing a consistent supply of steam.

Her second overhaul took place at Liverpool, Nova Scotia beginning in January 1945 and taking two months to complete.

After completing those duties, she was reassigned to the east coast in September as a replacement for the corvettes departing for Operation Torch.

[10] Dundas was paid off 17 July 1945 at Sorel, Quebec and transferred to the War Assets Corporation.
