She was initially ordered as HMS "Corso" during the Second World War, and was built by John I. Thornycroft & Company, Southampton. She was launched on 14 May 1945, renamed HMS "Concord" in June 1946 and commissioned on 20 December 1946. She was involved in the 'Amethyst Incident' in 1949, when she remained at the mouth of the Yangtze, finally making contact with HMS "Amethyst" after the "Amethyst"’s escape from the river. "Concord" went on to serve during the Korean War, before finally being decommissioned. She arrived at the breakers yard at Inverkeithing on 22 October 1962.
