This action-packed, first-hand account chronicles the mission of
Canada's most famous naval warship from her commissioning in 1943
to her return to Halifax for a refit in late 1944. The ship began
her career on convoy duty from Britain to Murmansk, and the book
includes a vivid description of the battle between the HMS Duke of
York and the German Scharnhorst that led to the Scharnhorst's
destruction. Haida went on to patrol the French coast in the months
leading up to D-Day, and then with her sister ships guarded the
Western Approaches on D-Day itself, sinking two German destroyers
and crippling two more. Commander William Sclater witnessed these
events first-hand, and his description-together with paintings by
Grant Macdonald-provides a vivid recounting of the heroic days of
the Second World War.
