HMCS
Saskatchewan was built by Victoria Machinery Depot
Ltd and launched in 1961. She
entered service for the Canadian Navy in 1963 and was
mostly used as a training vessel. The most exciting event
in her career was probably the hunt for a suspected Soviet
spy ship outside the US coast in the mid 1980s. In 1994
she was stricken from the Navy lists. After a few years
being laid up she was in early 1997 sold to be sunk as an
artificial reef outside British Colombia. 14.June 1997 she
was scuttled outside Nanaimo and rest today on a depth of
30 meter.
