New Destroyer Is Christened "Huron" Launching Takes Place At Bri- tish Port—Countess Minto Officiates About a year ago the County of Huron requested the naval author- ities at Ottawa to name a corvette the "Huron" after this county. It is recalled that the reply received by the county council intimated that the name "Huron" might be used instead fey one of the new tribal class des- troyers, This week announcement was made of the launching of a new destroyer which was christened "Hu- ron." Its career will be followed with interest by the citizens of this county, A new tribal class destroyer which eventually will swell the strength of the Royal Canadian Navy has been launched in a famous shipyard at a British port. Amid the roar and clatter of build- ing operations on other ships the new vessel was named HMCS Huron by the Countess Minto, the former Mar- ion Cook of Montreal. The Huron is the third such destroyer built in the United Kingdom for the Royal Can- adian Navy. It follows in the wake of the Iroquois and the Athabaska launched last year. The class is described as, compar- able to some light cruisers now in service. They are vessels of 1,870 tons carrying crews of 190 and arm- ed with eight 4.7 inch guns, seven FLT. LT.
