[edit] "Flower class" sloops?

The page says, "Especially famous were British mass-produced sloops of Flower-class of the first world war.", but the Flower class we've got is the Flower class corvette of World War II. The external link (/naval_sloops_.htm) and the List of corvette and sloop classes of the Royal Navy both suggest that the WWI sloops with flower names were not all lumped together but were classified as Acacia class, etc.
