HMCS Calgary

HMCS Calgary was a Royal Canadian Navy revised Flower-class corvette which took part in convoy escort duties during the Second World War. Launched on 23 August 1941, she was named for Calgary, Alberta. The ship was commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy on 16 December 1941 and began operations in the Battle of the Atlantic. In 1943, Calgary took part in the sinking of the German submarine U-536 north of the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean. The corvette also took part in Operation Neptune, the naval component of the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Decommissioned on 19 June 1945, the ship was sold for scrap later that year and broken up in 1951 at Hamilton, Ontario.
