Corvettes were the small ships used by the British Navy during the Secind World War to escort convoys in the Atlantic. One class of corvettes was given flower names, and this use of Flower Class corvettes introduces a sense of fragility and beauty to the context of conflict and tragedy. This is intensified here by the implied personification of the ships which have, in a childlike way, tried to camouflage themselves by changing their names.
