what is the max speed of a flower corvette?
i've never even contemplated being anywhere near one on the surface
Check your recog manual.:p

Though off the top of my head I think its something like 13 knots. They weren't really very well suited to their task... their task being the most numerous escort in the war. They had a wide body that tossed and turned in the North Atlantic storms and her main gun at first was useless even when it hit.

Not a nimble beast. You could easily out run one on the surface. And at night with your tail presented to him he won't be able to do anything.
