1 Destroyer HMCS Haida
2 Introduction In it was decided to order a number of Tribal class destroyers for the Canadian navy from British yards. These ships were ordered from Vickers- Armstrongs (Tyne) in Great Britain. The reason was that Canada did not have sufficient skilled workers to build these ships and it was virtually impossible to get sufficient professional support from Britain. Contrary to the Australian government which had ships built on their own yards. The order for the first two ships was placed at the beginning of followed for the next two by the end of that year. In June another two vessels were ordered but this time from the Halifax Shipyard. The engines were supplied by J.Inglis & Co. A final two were ordered from the same yard in The last four ships were finished after the end of WWII and therefore not see active duty in this period. Because the first ships were not ordered until use could be made of the hard lessons that had already been learned during wartime by the British ships as well as what should be demanded from a destroyer. Improved technology could be implemented in the Canadian ships as they were built. For instance the air defence systems were too weak and this could be modified in the design. The later hulls were strengthened during building as pounding at high speed in rough seas had weakened the earlier hulls, wich had to be stiffened during refits. Cracks and splits in the forecastle decks had had to be plated over or welded together HMCS Micmac was the first of four Tribal destroyers built at the Halifax Shipyard and the first modern, high-performance warship built in Canada. Cracks in the decks, overcrowded messdecks. Due to extra equipment, more personnel had to be crammed into their messes. Hammocks touching, messdecks two feet deep flooded, violent weather, infrequent mail, irregular leave and unremitting weariness was the life of a sailor. HMS Matabele was one of the original sixteen British ships with a standard displacement of 1,959 tons and a full load displacement of 2,519 tons. On 17 January, while screening convoy PQ8 to Murmansk, Matabele was hit by a torpedo from U-454 and sank almost immediately. Only two out of her complement of 238 survived. HMS Maori was a unit of the Mediterranean Fleet until sunk by German aircraft while at Malta in. The wreck was later raised and scuttled outside the Grand Harbour and is nowadays a diving site. Tribal destroyer The Tribal or Afridi class destroyers were built for the Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Australian Navy. Originally conceived as a failed design for a light fleet cruiser the Tribals evolved into fast, powerful destroyers with greater emphasis on guns over torpedoes than previous destroyers in response to new designs by Japan, Italy, and Germany. The Tribals were liked by their crews and the public due to their power. Often becoming symbols of prestige while in service. As some of the Royal Navy s most modern and powerful escort ships, the Tribals served with distinction in nearly all theatres of WWII.

3 The others: A Tribal destroyer of -39 MF/DF Rangefinder and AA director Three days after the German troops marched into the Rheinland, the first seven British Tribals were ordered (10 March ) followed by a second batch in June. The new destroyers were notable in incorporating a number of firsts and lasts in their layout. In so far as the hull was concerned, they were the last to employ the established transverse framing. They also ended a long run of twinfunneled destroyers in the Royal Navy. (After WWII it was re-introduced with Weapon- and Daring class.) Internally, the arrangements conformed to contemporary practice: crew s quarters forward, the main machinery in the waist, officers cabins and wardroom aft.

5 Haida in Additionally: HMCS Haida was modernized between and commissioned again on 15 March 1952 under pennant number DDE-215. Armament was then as follows: - four 4 inch guns, - four 21 inch torpedo tubes, - two 3 inch/50 calibre guns, - two Squid anti-submarine mortars and - four 40 mm Bofors guns. Between 1937 and 1945 a total of 27 Tribal class destroyers were built for the Royal Navy, the Royal Canadian and Royal Australian Navy. HMCS Haida is the only survivor. Haida was assigned to the 10th Destroyer Flotilla in Plymouth at the beginning of During World War Two she took part in the destruction of 14 enemy ships in the Channel and the Bay of Biscay. She was also part of flottillas during the Korean war twice. During her career Haida sank or took part in the sinking of more enemy tonnage than any other ship of the Royal Canadian Navy. By the end of the 1950 s Haida ' s aging hull and infrastructure proved troublesome. In January 1958 she went into refit for hull repairs. Followed by further refits in 1959.When she sailed for the West Indies in January 1960; equipment failures culminating in the 3 April failure of her steering gear. Another hull survey found extensive corrosion and cracking, forcing her into drydock for the remainder of the year. More repairs in June July 1961 after further cracking was found during operations in heavy seas that March. More cracks were detected in March 1962 which forced a refit through February Technical data Haida Length oa: 114,90 m. (377 ft.) Beam: 11,13 m. (36 ft.6 inch) Draught: 3,96 m. (13 ft) Displacement: 1972 tonnes standard; 2519 tonnes full load Engine: 3 Admiralty 3-drum boilers at 300 lb/sq.; 2-shaft Parsons geared turbines Propulsion: Max speed: Bunkers: Endurance: Complement: shp. 36,25 knots 505 to 513 tonnes 5700 nautical miles at 17 knots, 1100 nm at full speed Armament: six 4.7 inch (3 x 2); two 4 inch. (1 x 2); four 2 pdr. (1 x 4); six 20 mm except * eight 4 inch. (4 x 2); four 40 mm.; four 20 mm. Torpedoes: four 21 inch. (1 x 4) Depth charges: A single set of rails on the afterdeck and two depth bomb launchers. Standard 20 depth charges, in wartime 30. Remarks (table left): The 8 MK XII 4,7 inch guns fired 50 lbs shells and were mounted on a double CP Mk XIX base. Maximum elevation was 40 degrees. Ammunition: 200 shells each, plus 50 tracer shells and 50 for use at high angle elevation. The four barrel MK VII Pom-Pom ordnance fired 2 lbs ammunition, supply As indicated earlier a number of important modifications were carried through in constructing the Canadian Tribals. This meant amongst other things that the X-position 4.7 inch guns were replaced by a twin 4 inch AA (anti-aircraft) gun. 0.5 inch machine guns were replaced by 20 mm s and the after funnel was lowered to give the AA-guns a wider arc of fire. The searchlight and the 2 pdr Pom-Pom changed places so that this gun had an improved arc of fire as well. The radar equipment consisted of a type 285 on the range finder and a type 291 and 242 on the front mast. Athbaskan was commisioned with ten 20 mm guns, while Haida and Huron were equipped with electrically powered 20 mm s. A combined tower for rangefinder/director replaced the separated fittings on their predecessors. 8 9
