HMCS Champlain (1919)

HMCS Champlain (1919)

HMCS "Champlain" was a Thornycroft S class destroyer, formerly HMS "Torbay" built for the Royal Navy in 1917-19.

This ship, along with her sister HMS "Toreador", were donated by the British Government to Canada in March 1928 to replace their two existing destroyers, HMCS "Patrician" and HMCS "Patriot". At the same time the Canadian Government commissioned the construction of two further destroyers, HMCS "Saguenay" and HMCS "Skeena".

The ship and her sister HMCS "Vancouver" were paid off and broken up in 1937.
