In 1940 four Flower-class corvettes were being built in St. Nazaire-Penhoet for the French Navy. They were seized by the ''[[Kriegsmarine]]'' (German Navy). Three were completed in 1943 and 1944, while the fourth was never finished. Their designation "PA" stood for ''Patroullienboot Ausland'' (foreign patrol craft).
