http://www.hmascastlemaine.com/page1.htm The "Bathursts" were entirely an Australian effort, arguably the most significant Naval effort made by the nation during World War II. Their story began in early 1940 with orders for ten minesweepers from the Royal Navy and seven from the RAN. In some respects they were modeled after the British "Bangor" class minesweepers. They also very closely resembled the British "Flower" Class corvettes. Indeed, they are often referred to as "corvettes" by those who served in them. Mike
