Information & History … |
||||||||
|
The third HMCS OTTAWA was
launched at Canadian Vickers in Montreal, Quebec, on the 29th of April 1953
and commissioned on the 10th of November 1956. She was the third of a new
generation of ships to join the Canadian Fleet. All Canadian in design and construction, she and her sisters were the result of revolutionary thinking in the field of naval warfare. They carried the most advance equipment available for the detection and destruction of submarines, and had a distinctive rounded hull to aid with the water washing of nuclear fallout or chemical agents. OTTAWA belonged to the first class of Canadian ship to have air conditioning and a pressurized "citadel" which prevented chemical agents or nuclear fallout from entering the ship. OTTAWA was altered throughout her life to keep pace with the rapid changes in Maritime Warfare. HMCS OTTAWA III steamed
834,634 nautical miles over her lifetime, visited over 350 ports in more than
40 countries throughout the world. In 1968, she became the first bilingual
ship of the Canadian Navy. Her final sail past came on the 31st of July 1993. A little over one year
later the first steel was cut in Saint John, New Brunswick for the fourth
HMCS OTTAWA (FFH 341). |
