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

[3][4][5] 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.

[6] 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.

Her second began January 1943, this time begun at Liverpool, but completed at Halifax in mid-April 1943.

Her final refit, begun in March 1944 at New York saw Galt's fo'c'sle extended.
