Design and construction The Flower-class arose as a result of the Royal Navy's realisation in the late 1930s that it had a shortage of escort vessels, particularly coastal escorts for use on the East coast of Britain, as the likelihood of war with Germany increased. To meet this urgent requirement, a design developed based on the whale-catcher ''Southern Pride'' - this design was much more capable than Naval trawlers, but cheaper and quicker to build than the Hunt-class destroyers or sloops that were alternatives for the coastal escort role.
