This is an in-depth look at the history and legacy of HMCS
, a Canadian World War II corvette that fought in the Battle of the Atlantic, and was one of the few corvettes to sink a U-boat. From its creation through its christening off the shores of its namesake town, its exploits at sea, the famous encounter with

Oakville’s
is a story that showcases not only our nation’s proud naval heritage, but also the importance of remembrance.
