  French corvette Aconit
Aconit (J1095, formerly HMS Aconite, K58) was one of the nine Flower-class corvettes lent by the Royal Navy to the Force Navales Françaises Libres (Free French Naval Forces).
Aconit spent the first months of 1944 in Casablanca and Gibraltar, and on 5 June 1944 she escorted the convoy U-3 from Torbay to France, coming under attack from German airplanes.
Aconit was briefly used by the Naval school, before being given back to the Royal Navy on 30 April 1947, where she served briefly as Terje XI before being renamed to Terrier Southern, and then being sold in July.
