HMS Snowflake (K211)

HMS Snowflake (K211) was a Flower-class corvette that served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War.

[5] Snowflake regained ASDIC contact at 1,400 yards (1.3 km) and dropped another pattern of ten depth charges.

[2] On 6 May 1943, the ship was engaged in anti-submarine warfare with HMS Sunflower in the Western Atlantic Ocean.

[7] On 19 May 1943, together with HMS Duncan, the ship was credited with the sinking of German submarine U-381 following a successful depth charge attack.

[4] However, on 12 June 1943, the ship's Commander reported to the Admiralty that a lack of training in communication procedures was a factor in why more submarines had not been sunk in anti-submarine patrols.
