Frigates vs Destroyers. Why Does the Canadian Navy Have No Destroyer Ships, Only Frigates? It was a time when Canada's mighty destroyers reigned supreme over its waters. But times changed, and now sleek, versatile frigates patrol where these giants once dominated. What drove this transformation in the Canadian Navy? And why does the Canadian Navy have no destroyer ships, only frigates?
Ah, the Iroquoisclass destroyers. Just their name conjures images of steel giants slicing through icy waves, Canadian flags snapping proudly in the wind. They were the apex predators of the north, the guardians of a vast coastline, and symbols of national pride.
Imagine four of these majestic ships, named after fearsome Mohawk warriors – Iroquois, Huron, Algonquin, and Athabascan. Each weighed over 4,000 tons (3628 tonne), bristled with guns and missiles, and carried helicopters like loyal hawks perched on their shoulders. They patrolled the frigid Atlantic, the treacherous Arctic, and even ventured far south, showing the maple leaf wherever the seas may lead. #destroyers #frigates #canadiannavy
