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 1980's. She was
stricken from the Navy lists in 1994. After a few years
being laid up she was sold to be sunk as an artificial
reef in British Colombia. She was scuttled outside Nanaimo
14. June 1997 and rest today on a depth of 30
meter. Also see the wreck of HMCS Cape Breton.
