HMS Rhododendron was a Flower-class corvette that served with the Royal Navy during the Second World War.

Although U-103 escaped unscathed, this attack led to the incorrect claim that Rhododendron had sunk U-104.

[6] On 17 January 1941, she detonated a mine in Liverpool harbor, knocking out her engines and steering gear and causing minor structural damage.

[10] In November 1942, the British and Americans landed in French North Africa in Operation Torch, with Rhododendron helping to escort one of the convoys carrying invasion forces from Britain to the Centre Task Force beaches at Arzew near Oran in Algeria on 9 November.

[11] On 4 July 1943, she picked up more than 300 survivors from several merchant ships which were torpedoed by German submarines U-409 and U-375 off of Algeria.
