Naval Legends: HMCS Haida 

Thank you! and very much so!

Yes

World of Warships Official Channel do about destroyer hibiki pls she serve with the japanese navy and the soviet union

aspetto sempre le navi Italiane

At the time that Haida was in service Canada and the Canadian Navy would have used miles. We only adopted the metric system in the 1970s.

Our freedom was purchased by the heroism and sacrifice of your father and all who served. They must never be forgotten.

Thank God for men like your dad

You and the military you worked for are heroes sir. Thank you for inspiring me and my children! God bless you

I'm more of a HMCS Quebec fan but that last commission must've been nice

You honour us with your service, sir.

they remembered NOTHING i baggered them into it by constantly posting on their vids

Skystalker Happy 151 ! 😊🇨🇦

indeed. I even had plans to go see Haida on Canada Day even before this episode and the ship were release or any hint of her coming made it to the light of day

@@Platinumsniper Its a sight to behold though it took me 6 years to find the hatch to the engine room

The RCN has named the first of class of the Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships after Harry DeWolf.

its in hamilton now, right next to HMCS Star

I remebered touring her as a kid a couple times when she was parked by Ontatio Place, whenever we'd go to the CNE.

@@416to613 it called the Harry DeWolf Class but I think it's named after him being the Chief of the Navy not the Captain of HCMS Haida

My dad served briefly on the Haida under Capt. DeWolf. He was aboard the night in April '44 that Haida and (the original) Athabaskan engaged two German destroyers off the coast of Normandy. Haida was the only vessel to survive the encounter intact. Sadly, Athabaskan was torpedoed and sank. Haida rescued as many men as they could find, although my dad always recalled that the Athabaskan's captain, John Stubbs, declined to be rescued, saying he would "stay with the men".

Thanks

We did the long, boring drag of convoy duty sparked occasionally by a few minutes of stark terror. But we hung in there and got the job done. In hockey or war, don't f**k with us.

But now our governments have pissed on our navy. We don't even have a destroyer anymore! Not one!

Alamandorious 😊🇨🇦

we have frigates that have the capabilities of destroyers though

Matthew Blom that’s cuz we don’t need them we’re peace keepers

Alamandorious I feel ya there

You may remember Captain Stockwell then. I met him and became familiar with the Haida when I worked in Technical Services at Ontario Place one summer and I was asked to fix his TV. I seem to recal him saying something about being the only officer in the Canadian Navy in command of a sunken ship (it was ballasted to sit on underwater cradles).

We did that as Air cadets also, still was awesome.

My dad worked on it when he was a teen

@@Lorijenken I was an air cadet in Quebec, never got to do those things. I envy you lol.

I remember getting called out for scuffed 👢 boots

As an an Aussie and a history fan..even I know the truth of Canadians comin to the fight with her allies when the shit hits the fan..every single time..they know what they're doin and never back away..just look at what the lads did as a bloody hard slogg through cold and flooded landscapes in the estuary battles near Antwerp against Jerry in WW2. Bloody Legends are our Canadian cobbers! Bless Em!👍😊..'Up the Canucks!'.. (/-\)..

I wish people would do research into canada past.

Thanks eh

My brother and I used to play on her in Toronto.

@buttholebuddy3000 wargaming

This Canadian to and to belittle Canada's history of sacrifice or forgetting how many Canadians died and will never come home. Is a disgrace and I won't stand for it.

@yokedscrote ya I'm sorry too eh

she is fully sea worthy ...

@@kaboom-zf2bl sadly no I was inside of her engine room. those boilers will never fire again.

@@TheHappyjack1 those ladders man they are dangerously fun!!

@@TheHappyjack1 that sucks last time i was on her she was running ... guess they let them rot away

There are quite a few comments here from Ontarians who maybe believe that HMCS Haida is "their" ship, - typical of Ontario - which often believes "their" province is the only true province of Canada. The HAIDA Native or Indigenous People (formerly and incorrectly termed "Indians" by Christopher Columbus) are a large group on the north coast of British Columbia, Canada's western-most province, they inhabit a large archipelago called (by them) "Haida Gwaii" (gw-eye) "the homeland", known in English as the Queen Charlotte Islands. They have a well earned reputation as being the fiercest fighters of the many Native Peoples along that coast from Alaska to Oregon, raiding and pillaging not unlike the Vikings of Scandinavia. Their islands have long been a source of lucrative timber from the huge trees that grow in the temperate rainforests there - many wooden Mosquito aircraft were built from them in WWII - around 1990 a landmark environmental battle was won largely by the Haida to establish a National Park on the untouched southern part of the Islands.

Oh man... good ol’Sackville, all white and blue

Gooo Tabbies!...Luv fro the U of Guelph alumni!

Noted that as well.. Thanx ,iChase. love your vids. Very Down-to-Earth and no BS. o7, Fellow CDN.

Yeah, how many times did you sneeze off camera and ruin the take? ;P

I agree. They did well on this video and I cannot wait for more. I love videos over the articles but they are both great. I cannot wait until the ship is in the game to play her. I will be playing a ship that is apart of my history for work. If it wasn't for her, I would have not sailed on the HMCS Iroquois that was just decommissioned 3 years ago. It is great to her here.

Actually there are some Canadian do understand Royal Canadian Navy and I do read military history and also I understand first hand about the Battle of Atlantic since my grandfather served from 1940 to 1945 and than didn't retire until 1964 from the navy. Canadian Navy had there section. RCN regular navy and Naval reserve units and the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve which help the navy win the Battle of Atlantic and we had the largest ship design and Canadas corvette like HMCS Sackville K181and HMCS Haida was also with HMCS Athabasca which unfortunately was sunk by German unit and depth charges usually rolled of the stern but I do know that depth charges also was thrown from port and starboard side and plus we also had the hedgehog for anti submarine warfare and muintiy was on board HMCS Haida and HMCS Ontario as well in 1949. HMCS Sackville belong to Canadas naval memorial trust in Halifax NS Canada and is Canadas last Corvette of WW2 also known as Canadas Flowers written by author Thomas E Lynch

@@wesleywesolowski5812 thank you for being MOST canadians, Wesley. Since DMb isn't prime minister and you're clearly 2/3 of the country ... tell us more about your future navy plans ... or iust r ead

Kyle I didn’t say the Canadian navy was one of the reasons Britain didn’t fall, I said Canada (as a whole) was one of the reasons Britain didn’t fall.

Kyle during the Battle of Britain there were a constant stream of supplies coming from Canada

Respect from Britain 🇬🇧

And Bonaventure!

sadly we wont see Ontario, Ontario is actually Minotaur (Not even same class, it's the name ship transferred post war)

ahh some good craft those ... I want to see stuff on Canadian Snipers ... our snipers spent more time in every allied unit than any other countries snipers ...

Thank you my man

@@karenburrows9184 Looks like your wrong I replied

She was manned by Canadians was she not...? I've been to it many times so how can it not be Canadian. Don't even try saying "shes not Canadian shes British she was built at Newcastle - upon - Tyne" ... the just frig right off because She served in the CANADIAN navy and was named for the HAIDA people of British Columbia... besides ALLLLL that... how can something that has sat DOCKED in Canada for the last 50 years not be property of Canada? say your piece my friend

@francis Angel Go Stick a clam.....

Powerlifterusa: A Canadian is laughing, and laughing and laughing. Thanks so much for the sly (but loving) humour (or in your case, humor).

David, I remember touring the Haida back then when Ontario Place was under construction. Do you recall the Spitfire that was on display outdoors next to the Haida back then?

No not really, got off bus right onto ship then down to the racks to get a night's sleep.

Sean Allard: Nah. As the man said, one gun is all you need, if you really know how to use it. Now, that's Canadian.

We all would!

hell to tf no, the historical inaccuracy and the bs, just hell naw

Ewan Bennett My lord, don't be so narrow minded.

Ewan Do you even know what he commented and what you replied? They aren't connected.

I would too. If they make sure the history is correct to what is in the books that would be great as well. Like the battle in this video where done very well.

true

When I was in sea cadets, we took a trip on the HMCS KOOTENAY. Very nice ship, we rode from New Westminster BC to Victoria BC. The week after, She hit a tanker and its bow was all crushed in.

same i loved looking at that ship

With roughly 10% of Canada's population serving in the armed forces during the Second World War, plus all the tanks, aircraft, naval vessels and other weapons and kit Canada supplied for the war effort, Canada punched way, way above her weight. Indeed, the only Allied unit to reach its D-Day objective was a Canadian tank regiment. It's unfortunate that Canada's contributions during the First and Second World War haven't been better recognized. But I suppose that may have had something to do with the fact that Canadian soldiers, sailors and aircrew have rarely fought for glory, but more because they wanted to do their jobs, do them well, and go home when their jobs were finished.

@@etienneracine-hebert9870 in Americas defense... they kept Britain alive and supplied canada with their tanks (T6 Grizzlies if I'm correct, which were basically Shermans but canadian). We do brag alot but theres a bit of reason to it

As long as the "dislikes" have a Hunnish accent, I'm sure we'll survive.

Well she sank 51 ships then

Dislikes from jealous cowards

Salty wehraboos get salty for every good Allied ship being mentioned. I mean, their favorite Kriegsmarine had sunk more ships than the Allies which was quite an achievement. What more does these people want, Germany winning WW2?

You saying it sunk 80 ships!?

James Bunn 😊🇨🇦

God Bless Blighty!

there were plenty of aircraft for the RAF built proudly in Canada.........

Germans feared Canadians more than the Americans because we went straight to the point. We wanted to get things done that they had a certain saying, something you now have to Google. Canadians didn't play around that it's amusing to read whatever we have scattered on the interwebs :) Shall be interesting to see if they add in HMCS Ontario & HMCS Uganda/Quebec in the future for Canada.

totally agree on that last statement. It would be great to see both of those ship in the game in the future. It would be nice to see a cruiser which we didn't have many of in the game. I know more of our fleet from ww 2 were corvettes but we did have some Aircraft Carriers and Cruiser as well as Destroyers like the Haida. It would be nice to see more. I know we won't ever see the Sackville in the game since she is a Corvette and they are way to small for the game.

I wish we had more of a modern take on Silent Hunter 3, but an actual free-roamy game that isn't World of Warships, or some turned based game. We need to keep striving for Silent Hunter 3 games where we should use whatever vessel we can to do whatever we desire in the open seas...... I don't really count the aircraft carriers as Canadian until shortly after the war with HMCS_Bonaventure. HMS Nabob & HMS Puncher don't really have any full Canadian marks on them from what I read that it's basically half-crews and lots of disagreements with the British. It would indeed be nice to see more that I'm glad we have HMCS now, hoping to get the two cruisers while also desiring an actual free-roamy game to do as we desire Silent Hunter 3 style. Here is a list if you need it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_of_the_Royal_Canadian_Navy

The St Laurents and follow on classes of the cold war era were beautiful ships, as were the 280s

I2ma3L I.J Canada became what we are today because of war. In WWI, when England called, we went to war, but instead of sending troops to join British units, we insisted that Canada would fight in Canadian units, under Canadian commanders. Prior to WWI, Canada sent troops to the Boer conflicts in Africa, and fought in British units, and like other Colonial units in British military service found that Colonial units suffered high casualties rates, many times in excess of English casualty rates. Simply put, Colonial units were used, quite litarally, as "cannon fodder", used to absorb the cannon fire, to allow English units to prevent casualties. So, in 1914, we basically said "fine, we'll come, we'll fight, but none of that crap, we'll make up our own units!". England was unhappy, but given that the food and War Materiel that Canada would supply was critical, and the numbers of men we could send might well prove vital, they would accept it. Some Canadian historians think that the British thought that we would be unable to build the infrastructure and training programs necessary, leading to dangerously untrained men being slaughtered on the battlefield, resulting in Canada crawling back to the English, begging to be allowed back under the leadership of experienced officers, which didn't happen. 😂 Canadian soldiers and officers developed a fearsome reputation amongst the Germans, leading them to call us "Sturmtruppen", and several nasty jobs were handed to us when the English and French fell short. As said in this video, we had the third largest navy at the end of WWI, and our Aviators also joined the ranks of the elite Aces. In WWII, Korea, and countless peacekeeping missions, Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen have done us proud. And paid a high price. As we say on every Rememberance Day, November 11th, Je Me Souviens, I will Remember. We will NEVER forget.

They are getting even better, aren't they?

my great grandfather worked on that ship in ww2 , cool to see other people relate to me in some way lol

can't pay 30 for your grandfather's ship?! Just skip one bottle of vodka

My grandfather was a gunner on the Haida in ww2. It has a real proud history that doesn't get recognized often enough.

He's gone.....Baby....Caviar Tastes and Caviar Brainz.....Ah....Ahhh?

Doing just fine. God help you survive Trump as America burns.

Bless em all Scotty!
