Bathurst-class corvettes and Australian wartime shipbuilding

What was the best ship design produced by the British Empire's overseas shipbuilding industries during the Second World War?

The Bathurst-class corvette is a strong choice because it was an early, useful escort produced through Australia's own wartime industry.

The Bathurst class is the preferred example of a wartime design produced by the Empire's overseas shipbuilding industries. Canadian yards also receive credit for good ships. The attraction of the Australian corvettes is that local industry produced them during the war. Their Australian origin and early appearance carry the comparison, alongside a personal liking for the class.
