Commonwealth Destroyer
The third of eight Canadian Tribal-class destroyers, HMCS Huron, named after one of the North American indigenous nations, was laid down in 1941 at the Newcastle shipyard. During World War II, the ship escorted Arctic convoys and conducted operations off the French coast, among all taking part in Normandy landings support in the Summer of 1944. Huron remained in active service until 1963, taking part in the Korean War.
