120 KRH 92 The 120 KRH 92 ( ) is a 120 mm mortar manufactured in Finland . Due to the high trajectory , high rate of fire , and their light weight , mortars are especially suited to terrain with natural cover , in built - up areas and in circumstances with great altitude differences . Due to the major - general Vilho Nenonen ' s intitiative Finland has built mortars since the early 1930s , and although they haven ' t been exported , the designs have been used in many countries .

HMCS Asbestos ( K358 ) HMCS " Asbestos " was a Flower - class corvette that served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War . She fought primarily in the Battle of the Atlantic as a convoy escort . She was named for Asbestos , Quebec . Background . Flower - class corvettes like " Asbestos " serving with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were different to earlier and more traditional sail - driven corvettes . The " corvette " designation was created by the French as a class of small warships ; the Royal Navy borrowed the term for a period but discontinued its use in 1877 . During the hurried preparations for war in the late 1930s , Winston Churchill reactivated the corvette class , needing a name for smaller ships used in an escort capacity , in this case based on a whaling ship design . The generic name " flower " was used to designate the class of these ships , which – in the Royal Navy – were named after flowering plants . Corvettes commissioned by the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were named after communities for the most part , to better represent the people who took part in building them . This idea was put forth by Admiral Percy W . Nelles . Sponsors were commonly associated with the community for which the ship was named . Royal Navy corvettes were designed as open sea escorts , while Canadian corvettes were developed for coastal auxiliary roles which was exemplified by their minesweeping gear . Eventually the Canadian corvettes would be modified to allow them to perform better on the open seas . Construction . " Asbestos " followed the design of the modified Flower - class corvettes and was ordered June 1942 as part of the 1943 - 44 Flower class building program . The only significant difference is that the majority of the 43 - 44 program replaced the 2 - pounder Mk . VIII single " pom - pom " anti - aircraft gun with 2 twin 20 - mm and 2 single 20 - mm anti - aircraft guns .

Cuthbert , RCNR who was promoted to acting lieutenant commander on 1 January 1945 . Fate . She was paid off from the RCN on 8 July 1945 and laid up on Sorel , Quebec .
