USED FRIGATES OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY 43-74

Description

Used, “Frigates of the Royal Canadian Navy 1943-1974” by Ken Macpherson. Hardcover.

Frigates were the first Canadian-built warships to be fitted with the 147B “Sword” protruding below the hull to determine the depth of underwater targets by a horizontal fan of transmissions and returning echoes.  It is extraordinary that one seldom hears of the finest antisubmarine vessels built in Canada during WWII. Frigates proved their worth as ocean escorts and were important contributors to victory over the U-Boats.
