HMCS Skeena
Commissioned: 10 Jun 1931

Skeena and Saguenay were the first warships built to Canadian specs. On 31 Jul 1942, Skeena and Wetaskiwin sank U588 in the North Atlantic. On 25 Oct 1944, Skeena dragged her anchors in the storm and was wrecked on Videy Island, near Reykjavik. She was sold in June 1945, to a local resident. She was refloated and later broken up.
