About This File
HMS Compass Rose (pennant number K-49) was a fictitious Flower class corvette that was displayed in the 1953 British war film "The Cruel Sea".
The Flower-class corvette(also referred to as the Gladiolus class after the lead ship) was a British class of 294 corvettes used during World War II, specifically with the Allied navies as anti-submarine convoy escorts during the Battle of the Atlantic. Royal Navy ships of this class were named after flowers, hence the name of the class.
Several ships were transferred to other navies. Four of them ere transferred to the Royal Hellenic Navy. Inside this package you can find pennant number for RHS Tompazis.
The boat features an animated Royal Navy flag and she is capable of firing her main gun, 2xOerlikon guns and she can also drop depth charges. The ship is also equipped with a floodlight.
