Table of Flower-class corvettes
Lists of corvettes of the

Canadian Navy | Free French Navy | French Navy | Netherlands Navy | Norwegian Navy | Royal Navy | United States Navy | Yugoslavian Navy

The table should have, say: launch-year, navy, name, [transfer-year, navy, name], end-year

Maybe two sets of lists?--lists of Flower-class corvettes of * Navy, and lists of [all] corvettes?

It might be best not to have a footer at all for such a large ship class but to just link to the Flower class corvette article and put lists of ships there.
