HMCS Haida

I visited the HMCS Haida a couple of weeks ago in her new home in Hamilton Ontario.

Thankfully she is being restored to her fighting state and not simply a marine museum. 

She is the last remaining example of the 27 Tribal Class destroyers built for the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy between 1937 and 1945. It has been said that The Tribals were "magnificent in appearance, majestic in movement and menacing in disposition". Technologically, they represented the most advanced naval architecture, marine propulsion systems and weaponry of their time.
