Wellington is a sloop. It has a reciprocating rather than a turbine engine. This makes her one of the largest of the classes of escort vessels which were built in yards used to building merchant steamers. Slow relative to a destroyer with turbine engines I 'd love to see her though. I think very few corvettes/sloops/frigates from that era are still around.
