Iroquois Class Destroyer
Iroquois-class destroyers (also known as the Tribal
class) were a class of four helicopter-carrying, guided
missile destroyers of the Royal Canadian Navy.
The
Iroquois class are notable as the first all-gas turbine
powered ships of this type. Launched in the 1970s, they
were originally fitted out for anti-submarine warfare,
using two CH-124 Sea King helicopters and other weapons.
A major upgrade program in the 1990s overhauled them for
area-wide anti-aircraft warfare with the installation of
a vertical launch system for Standard SM-2MR Block IIIA
missiles.
Due to
their extended service lives, the Iroquois class
destroyers were used in a variety of operational roles.
They served as flagships for NATO's maritime force,
deployed as part of United Nations and NATO forces in
the Adriatic, Arabian and Caribbean seas and Atlantic
and Indian oceans. The Iroquois class destroyers also
performed coastal security patrols and search and rescue
missions nearer to Canada.

HMCS Huron
(DDG 281) was an Iroquois class
destroyer that actively served the
Canadian Forces from 1972 to 2000. She
was launched on 9 April 1971 and officially commissioned
on 16 December 1972. Huron completed a refit known as the
Tribal Class Update and Modernization
Project (TRUMP) on 25 November 1994. At this time her classification changed
from Destroyer Helicopter (DDH) to
Destroyer Guided Missile (DDG).
