'''HMIS ''Gondwana'' (K348)''' was a [[World War II]] {{sclass2|Flower|corvette}} of the [[Royal Indian Navy]] (RIN). She was originally ordered for and commissioned as '''HMS ''Burnet''''' of the [[Royal Navy]], but transferred to RIN immediately upon commissioning.<ref name=u-gondwana>{{cite web|url=https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/5602.html|title=HMIS ''Gondwana''|publisher=Uboat.net|access-date=2012-03-28}}</ref><br />
<br />
She was transferred back to the Royal Navy in 1946 and subsequently sold to the [[Royal Thai Navy]] in 1947, and commissioned as '''HTMS ''Bangpakong''''' ({{langx|th|เรือหลวงบางปะกง}}).<ref>[https://thaiseafarer.com/naval-museum/bangpakong/ เรือหลวงบางปะกง(ลำที่ 1)]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''Burnet'' was ordered from [[Ferguson Shipbuilders]], Limited in [[Glasgow]] for the [[Royal Navy]] in 1942. She was transferred to the Royal Indian Navy immediately and commissioned as HMIS ''Gondwana'' on 15 May 1945, just months before the end of World War II. After the war, she was briefly used as an apprentice seaman training ship before being transferred back to the Royal Navy just on 17 May 1946.<br />
<br />
She was sold to the [[Royal Thai Navy]] in 1947 as HTMS ''Bangpakong'', and served in the [[Korean War]] in 1950–1951 before returning to Thailand. ''Bangpakong'' has since been decommissioned.<ref>{{cite web|title=ความเป็นมา (History)|url=http://www.navy.mi.th/frigate1/index/index.php/features-mainmenu-47/shape-5-extensions|work=Royal Thai Navy First Frigate Fleet website|access-date=30 November 2011|language=th}}</ref><br />
