Wartime history
Capture and service
In the late 1930s, France ordered 18 ships of the British Flower class type, 6 of those to be built in French shipyards. After the invasion of France, those incomplete ships were captured by the Germans and four of them were continued under German control. PA-1, the former Arquebuse, was commissioned on 15.04.1944 and served in the 15th VP-Flotilla until it was sunk on 15.06.1944 by RAF bombers in Le Havre.
