The Dempster Class looks great, looks spot on for a multi-use sloop/corvette and especially for a wartime emergency type.

really good one indeed, always glad to see smaller AU designs, specially from this timeframe.

I like the look of your Corvette Rowdy. But I have never been a fan of the 'Flower corvettes' as a class. The WW1 sloop design of the Flower class could have always been updated and put back into production. At 276 feet they would have been much more capable ships. Two-to-three knots faster is not much but reading about convoy actions the Corvettes could rarely be left to hunt submarines, once contacted, as their speed was too slow to rejoin the convoy in a timely manner. The 17-18 knot sloops (of all kinds) were just that much better. (Just my opinion)

I like the HMRS Remark, and it seems to already has a dedicated crane at stern, but in the last modification, it seems to me that the fwd cranes are unable to handle aircrafts (they can´t reach the "aircraft handling area"). I´m not sure of relying on a single crane, that can hinder seaplanes recovery if become unserviceable, when you can have two more back-ups with a little rearrangement. IMHO, in this type or ship, ensure seaplanes operations is more important than a little 4" arc of fire loss due to original crane placement, but it´s just my personal opinion... Very nice works! :)

Rowdy, I was never a fan of hybrid cruisers but I do love your Dempster. My only suggestion would be a low bulwark extending aft from the break of the forecastle as per the Bathurst class corvettes/minesweepers.
