About This Item
HMCS Haida (G63) is a Tribal-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) from 1943-1963. Haida sunk more enemy surface tonnage than any other Canadian warship. She is also the only surviving Tribal-class destroyer out of 27 vessels that were constructed between 1937-1945 for the Royal Navy, Royal Australian Navy and the RCN. After World War II Haida underwent a major refit and her radar, sonar and communications systems were upgraded. In the 1950's Haida's new destiny was to participate in anti-submarine warfare. She was converted into a Destroyer-Escort and her pennant number was changed from C63 to 215. This redesign was fully completed in 1952, as Cold War tensions were building.
