Amazing. There are US Coast Guard ships now that are the same size as a WWII DD.

That is a 200' Flower Class corvette.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

I believe there is a surviving Flower class in Canada, tiny ship to cross the Atlantic in winter aboard.
