HMS Carnation

HNLMS Friso (K00) was a Flower-class corvette of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN). She was built in the United Kingdom originally for the Royal Navy (RN) as HMS Carnation. On 26 March 1943 the corvette was loaned to the RNLN in exchange for HNLMS Jan van Gelder. During her service in the RNLN she protected convoys and was placed under operational command of the RN. On 5 October 1944 Friso was returned to the RN.
Named after the Brinio-class gunboat Friso which was sunk in the defense of the Netherlands at the start of the Second World War, Friso was crewed by the surviving crew of the sunken minesweeper Jan van Gelder.
