HMCS Eastview (K665)

HMCS Eastview was a River-class frigate that served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1944-1946.

Named after the Ottawa suburb of Eastview (now Vanier), she was built by Canadian Vickers Ltd., Montreal. She was commissioned into the RCN at Quebec City on 3 June 1944 with the pennant K665.

She arrived at her homeport of Halifax, Nova Scotia on 26 June 1944 and undertook work up training at Bermuda for one month beginning 19 August 1944. She undertook convoy escort operations in the North Atlantic from Halifax from 18 September 1944 until 28 April 1945.

With victory in Europe seemingly imminent, the RCN deployed Eastview to Esquimalt that summer in preparation for Operation Downfall, the Allied invasion of Japan. Eastview joined the RCN's Pacific Fleet only 3 weeks before the Surrender of Japan following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

She was paid off from the RCN on 17 January 1946. On 22 January the decision was made to dismantle her armaments and scuttle her with several other surplus RCN warships to form a breakwater in Royston, British Columbia later that year. 49.65552°N, -124.94687°W
