HMCS Huron (G24) was a Canadian destroyer built in Great Britain during the Second World War. The keel for this unit was laid in 1941, the launch took place in June 1942, and entry into service in the Royal Canadian Navy - in 1943. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 115 meters and a width of 11.13 meters. Full displacement reached approx. 2,500 tons, and the maximum speed was approx. 36-37 knots. The armament at the time of launching consisted of: three twin 120 mm guns, two 102 mm guns and a quadruple 533 mm torpedo tube.
HMCS Huron (G24) was one of the Tribal-class destroyers (another name: Afridi-class). These types of ships were initially designed as light cruisers and only later developed as destroyers. Units of this type were characterized by a relatively high displacement, they also emphasized strong artillery at the expense of - for example - limited torpedo armament. They were also characterized by a good maximum speed and high seaworthiness. Later they also received ASDICs, which significantly increased their anti-submarine anti-submarine (ZOP) capabilities. They are quite commonly considered successful units with high combat value. One of the destroyers of this type was just HMCS Huron (G24), which was built at the Vickers Armstrong shipyard in Newcastle upon Tyne, Great Britain. Shortly after entering service, the unit was assigned to cover Arctic convoys bound for the USSR. This service lasted until February 1944. A few months later - in June 1944 - HMCS Huron supported the Allied landing in Normandy. After the end of World War II, the destroyer was placed in reserve, but returned to active service in 1950 and took part in the Korean War (1950-1953). It was decommissioned for the second time in 1963, and two years later it was sold for scrap.
