Awesome photo Rene! I just wanted to give you a heads up that you have her labeled as HMCS Athabaskan instead of Annapolis.

Sunk as an artificial reef of Gambier Island B.C. on April 4, 2015.

Nice design indeed. Bearing the names of canadian RIVERS, 20 variants were built. The anchors, chain cables and the windlass were located inside the rounded bow. The rounded deck edges, facilitate de-icing at sea (North-Atlantic) and nuclear fallout decontamination.

Incredible... I haven't seen warships like this before!

Destroyers in the RCN of the 1960-80s were called the 'Cadillacs of the Navy' because of their yatch-like design.

She has?had fine yacht like line,,look at her anchor stowage , such a shame to sink her , but at least she will not be scrapped and somehow she will still spend more years as at least a diving site.

A fine look-back to the fine lined destroyer escorts or 'steamers' of our RCN 'cold war' fleet! mrdot.
