Louie da fly Posted May 12, 2022 Share #883 Posted May 12, 2022 Interesting name for a ship - in Old English, that's Eg-beorht (from which comes the name Egbert. Probably.

Vegaskip Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share #885 Posted May 12, 2022 I agree, being a 'Flower' class Corvette, like most of her British sisters she was named after a Flower.

lmagna Posted May 12, 2022 Share #886 Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, Vegaskip said: Although the Canadians used other names It would take me a name-by-name check but I think that those corvettes that were transferred from the RN to the RCN maintained heir flower names as Eyebright did. Those ships built in Canadian yards and went directly into the RCN had names of Canadian cities or possibly rivers in addition to flowers. I also may be wrong!

Here is another Scylla Ah, another great painting of probably the most famous "Scylla" 👏 - There are plenty of photos and a 'Pathe' newsreel on YouTube about her Arctic Convoy exploits, the anti-aircraft duties, dealing with icing and Winston Churchill addressing the crew on top of the aft gun turret! Think one of the gunnery officers wrote a memoir of the time, I think called "Flagship to Murmansk", but have not got a copy yet. I'm building up reference for when Trumpeter finally release their 1/350 version of her.
