HMS Meadowsweet (K144)

HMS Meadowsweet (K144) was a Flower-class corvette of the Royal Navy that served during World War II. She was primarily employed as a convoy escort in the North Atlantic.

Meadowsweet was commissioned on 11th October, 1941. During her service, she was assigned to various convoy escort groups, contributing to the defense of Allied merchant shipping against U-boat attacks. Flower-class corvettes like Meadowsweet were known for their ruggedness and ability to operate in harsh weather conditions, making them valuable assets in the Battle of the Atlantic.

Her armament typically included a 4-inch gun, anti-aircraft guns, and depth charge throwers for engaging submarines. Meadowsweet participated in numerous convoy escort duties, helping to ensure the safe passage of vital supplies to Britain.

There is no documented record of Meadowsweet sinking any U-boats during her service. She was scrapped after the war. Details of her specific engagements and wartime activities are available in historical records of Royal Navy convoy operations.
