HMCS Vancouver (F6A)

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

This ship, along with her sister HMS Torbay, 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. During the 1930s the Vancouver served on the west coast of Canada alongside the Skeena.

This ship and her sister ship HMCS Champlain was paid off and broken up in 1937.
