HMCS Margaree (DDH 230)

HMCS "Margaree" (DDH 230) was a "St. Laurent"-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy and later the Canadian Forces from 1957-1992.

She was commissioned into the RCN on 5 October 1957 and initially carried the pennant number DDE 230 as a destroyer escort. She underwent conversion to a destroyer helicopter escort (DDH) in the mid-1960s and was officially reclassed with pennant DDH 230 on 15 October 1965.

"Margaree" was selected by the Canadian Forces for the Destroyer Life Extension (DELEX) program and completed this refit on 28 November 1980.

She was decommissioned from active service in the CF on 2 May 1992.

She was scrapped in 1994.
