Another prolific class was the Algerines, with 110 built for service. Fifty were built in Belfast and a further 60 in Canada and they served with several navies of the world. Six of them were lost in action.

Another view of HMS Wave during her run ashore at St Ives.
On 30 September 1952, Wave was sheltering in St Ives Bay during a storm when her anchor chain broke. She was driven ashore in the town of St Ives, Cornwall, with her hull being holed. Sixty-two of her crew were taken off by breeches buoy, while the remaining 32, including the ship's officers remaining onboard until she was salvaged by two Boom defence vessels and taken to Devonport dockyard for repair.
