HMS Caister Castle was a Castle-class corvette of Britain's Royal Navy^[1] and was named after Caister Castle in Norfolk.

Background

Built to be larger, stronger and more adept to Atlantic conditions than the previous Flower-class corvettes, Caistor Castle was laid down at the shipyard of J. Lewis & Sons Ltd. in Aberdeen, Scotland on 28 August 1943. She was launched on 22 May 1944 before being commissioned on 29 September 1944, predominantly serving as a convoy escort in the North Sea and Atlantic until the end of the Second World War.^[2]

Operations

With the end of the war, Caistor Castle deployed as part of the fleet that was sent to secure and transfer the surrendered German submarine fleet at Trondheim in Norway. With duties ended she then participated in the visiting of home port for victory celebrations.^[2]

Post WWII

After the war, Caistor Castle was in reserve at Devonport from 1947 until 1948. She represented the Reserve Fleet at the 1953 Coronation Review^[3] and served in the Second Training Squadron at Portland from February 1953 until 1955. She was then placed in reserve at Devonport, until scrapped at Troon in 1956.^[4]
