HMAS MILDURA - Links to all Bathurst Class Corvettes
Corvette Links

There were 60 Australian Minesweepers built during World War II, 36 for the Royal Australian Navy, 20 for the Royal Navy (but manned by Australians), and 4 for the Royal Indian Navy. RAN Corvettes pendant numbers had a "J" prefix which changed to "M" after the war. The RN corvettes used a "B" prefix when they were with the Royal Navy. HMAS ARARAT used a "K" prefix in honour of Canadian Corvette "Gladiolus" K34 which was sunk before ARARAT was built. Only 2 corvettes are still in existence, HMAS CASTLEMAINE as a floating museum ship at Williamstown, Victoria, and HMAS WHYALLA as a tourist display at Whyalla, South Australia.
