DESTROYER HURON
NOW IN SERVICE
The third of Canada's four British-
built Tribal class destroyers, H. M. C.
S. Huron, has gone into service, it was
announced at naval headquarters,
Equipped with the latest devices
proved and tested in the British Navy,
the Huron is said to carry "even great-
er armament" than the two previousn
er armament" than the two previous
Tribals, which have been, in service
for some time, the Iroquois and time
Athabaskan.
The Tribals are the most powerful
ships of war in the Canadian Navy,
and the Huron, like the other two, is
engaged with a striking force of the
Royal Navy. Its taking to sea adds
one more unit to the destroyer streng-
th of the Canadian Navy, which is un-
officially placed at 18, and which Navy
Minister MacDonald recently reported
-was "more than 12, and not quite 24."
Another Tribal class destroyer, H.
M. C. S. Haida, under construction for
Canada, in Britain, and two more, the
first larger-sized fighting ships to be
built in Canada, are under construc-
tion at Halifax.
Canada's oldest destroyers, named
after rivers, while the bigger, newer
Tribals, are named after Indian tribes,
are believed largely engaged in the job
of escorting convoys, 'but the Tribals,
are assigned to a "striking force" be-
cause of •their greater power. -
A man from Huron County com-
mands the Huron. He is Lt. Cmdr. H.
R. Rayner, who was born at Clinton,
and, at 32, is the youngest of the three
officers commanding this class of ship.
A despatch to naval headquarters
from a British port said a simple cere-
mony took place when the ship was
commissioned. It was followed by a
luncheon on board at which the Count-
ess of Minto, the former Marion Cook
of Montreal, who launched the ship
several months ago, was the guest, She
presented the -commanding officer with
an engraved silver salver in commem-
oration of the launching ceremony,
After the commissioning; Lt. Cmdr.
Rayner assembled the ship's company,
most of them newly arrived from a
Canadian naval establishthent in Scot-
land, around the torpedo tubes and
told them,
"Remember that a ship's efficiency
depends on the efficiency of the men
who sail in her, We may all see lots
of action before this show is over. I
want you to remember that you are
all Canadians, and, since we will be
sailing with ships of the Royal Navy,
the eyes of the Royal Navy will be
upon you."
The Huron's displacement 3s about
2,000 tons, Her gunpower is more
than double that of the river class ..de-
troyers in the Canadian Navy, and she•
carries twin 4.7 mountings, reinforced
by numerous anti-aircraft weapons.
Added to this are torpedo tubes and
depth charges. She carries 14 officers
And about ZO men.
