- HMCS Fredericton was a Flower-class corvette of the Royal Canadian Navy. She was ordered from Marine Industries Ltd. in Sorel, Quebec and laid down on 22 March 1941. She was launched on 2 September 1941 and commissioned on 8 December 1941. She was named after the community of Fredericton, New Brunswick. Fredericton's design was slightly revised from the earlier Flower-class ships. Corvettes built before 1941 behaved poorly in heavy seas, so her length and weight were increased. She was also outfitted with a water-tube boiler which was more powerful and stable than earlier models. Her armament was limited to a 4-inch (100 mm) gun forward and a 2-pound (0.9 kg) pom-pom gun aft gun as well as depth charge throwers which suited her escort duties and anti-submarine capabilities. Later on she was outfitted with the improved Hedgehog anti-submarine device. She was manned by a crew of 85 which included six officers. Her unofficial emblem was a badge emblazoned with a flying tiger dropping a depth charge on a U-boat. Fredericton served during the Battle of the Atlantic from 1941 to 1945. During 1942 she escorted oil tankers from the Caribbean to New York City. From 1943 to 1945 she escorted convoys in the Western Atlantic and then later on across the Atlantic to Northern Ireland. She was decommissioned on 14 July 1945. Some question as to her final disposition lies with a possible error in Lloyd's Register. Either she was sold for scrap in 1946 or ended up as a Panamanian-flagged Japanese whaler which was used until 1979. (en)
- Le NCSM Fredericton (K245), était une corvette canadienne de classe Flower de la Marine royale canadienne. Il a été commandé de Marine Industries Ltd. à Sorel au Québec et mis en chantier le 22 mars 1941. Elle a été mise à l’eau le 2 septembre 1941 et mise en service le 8 décembre 1941. Il a été baptisé du nom de la communauté de Fredericton au Nouveau Brunswick. Le Fredericton a servi durant la Bataille de l’Atlantique de 1941 à 1945. Au cours de l'année 1942, elle a escorté des pétroliers des Caraïbes à New York. De 1943 à 1945, il a escorté des convois le long des côtes ouest de l'Atlantique et plus tard, a traversé l'Atlantique jusqu'en Irlande du Nord. Il a été désarmé le 14 juillet 1945. La disposition finale du navire n’est pas très claire en raison d’une erreur possible dans le Lloyd's Register. Le navire a soit été vendu pour ses pièces en 1946 ou a terminé sa carrière comme baleinier japonais sous drapeau panaméen jusqu’en 1979. (fr)
