HMS Hyacinth in the Mediterranean. Hyacinth (K84) was a Royal Navy Flower-class corvette launched in August 1940. She served in the Mediterranean as a convoy escort and was involved in several successful anti-submarine actions. Hyacinth was transferred to the Royal Hellenic Navy in 1943. The disruptive camouflage patterns painted on the vessel, designed to break up its outline, can clearly be seen.
