HMCS Saguenay

Scanned from a snapshot from 1939
The River-class destroyer HMCS Saguenay D39 while serving with the West Indies Squadron based in Jamaica. She is shown with the canvas sun shade over the deck.
The Saguenay spent the majority of her active service in convoy protection. She was torpedoed in Dec 1940 which required her bow to be replaced, in Nov 1942 her stern was rammed by a freighter which caused her depth charges to detonate which blew off her stern. Her damaged stern was plated over.
In Oct 1943 she became a training ship, decommissioned in late 1945 she was scrapped in 1946
