How quickly Flower-class corvettes could be completed

How quickly could the yards complete a Flower-class corvette?

Some were built very quickly, but the precise pace depended on the yard; Gardenia went from laying down to commissioning in roughly eight months.

Construction speed varied between yards. Gardenia, for example, was laid down in September 1939 and launched in April 1940. The corvette commissioned in May, roughly eight months after being laid down. The class record remains unspecified, so Gardenia illustrates an attainable rapid build rather than a claimed absolute fastest case.
