HMCS CAYUGA R04 / 218
Tribal Class Destroyer
Commissioned at Halifax on 19 Oct 1947, she sailed on 04 Feb 1948, for Esquimalt, her assigned base.
On 13 Jan 1950 HMCS CAYUGA made a run from Esquimalt at the height of one of the worst blizzards to hit the West Coast. The Tribal class destroyer is the only ship to put out of Vancouver Island during the gale, and when she docks at Vancouver, her superstructure is covered in two inches of ice. Despite a rough passage and up to 65-knot winds, CAYUGA carries the Navy's junior hockey team safely to Vancouver for a featured exhibition game, and returns home the following day with Army personnel participating in an exercise appropriately named Operation Brass Monkey.
At 0815 on 14 Feb 1950, HMCS CAYUGA was ordered to proceed with all dispatch to a search area off the Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait to search for USAF B36 2075 which had gone down in the early morning hours. This was a BROKEN ARROW (a missing nuclear weapon). HMCS CAYUGA remained on station as OTC coordinating the search on Princess Royal Island until 22 Feb 1950 when the search was called off. All but 5 of the crew were found. (Note: the crash site was not found till several years later. (Click here to read the Crowsnest article on the search)
On 05 Jul 1950, CAYUGA departed Esquimalt, as Senior Officer's ship of the first three Canadian destroyers to serve in Korean waters. On 04 Dec 1950, a United Nations force including HMCS CAYUGA, HMCS ATHABASKAN and HMCS SIOUX covered the withdrawal at Chinnampho, Korea. During her first tour 1950-51, she went into drydock in Sasebo, Japan - once to have the sonar dome checked and ship painted; and a 2nd time to check the screws for damage as she backed over the ship's whaler. She carried out three tours of duty there, the last in 1954 after the armistice.
In 1952, between the second and third tours, she was rebuilt as a destroyer escort. For four years after her return from Korea in Mid-Dec 1954, CAYUGA carried out training on the west coast.
On 16 Jan 1958, she departed Esquimalt in company with HMCS CRESCENT 226, HMCS FRASER 233, HMCS MARGAREE 230, and HMCS SKEENA, to take part in a Far-East training cruise. In Jan 1959, HMCS CAYUGA left Esquimalt for the east coast to become part of a homogeneous Tribal class squadron.
On 16 Feb 1959, HMCS ATHABASKAN and HMCS CAYUGA arrived in Halifax. Their west coast crews returned to BC with HMCS ST LAURENT and HMCS SAGUENAY.
In Apr 1963, 12 RCN ships, ALGONQUIN, MICMAC, CAYUGA, ST CROIX, TERRAN OVA, KOOTENAY, SWANSEA, LA HULLOISE, BUCKINGHAM, CAPESCOTT, CNAV BLUETHROAT and CNAV ST CHARLES, took part in NATO Exercise New Broom Eleven, an exercise designed to test convoy protection tactics (click here to see the newspaper article).
In Oct 1963, BONAVENTURE, ALGONQUIN, CAYUGA, MICMAC and SASKATCHEWAN took part in a NATO exercise in which all participating ships were battered by a severe North Atlantic storm (click here to see the newspaper article).
Paid off at Halifax on 27 Feb 1964, she was broken up at Faslane, Scotland, the following year.

(CAY021) Alice, Mascot of HMCS CAYUGA // My first dog - Alice. She was apparently a cute little puppy when the crew adopted her. By the time I first met her she was a fully-developed cleaning stations PO. She was picked up as a stray by HMCS CAYUGA in Guam she started out as an OD (ordinary dog). Serving in the Korean War, she was promoted to AB, LS and eventually P2 (temporary-acting, while so employed). Her action station was below the X mount shelter. When she came ashore she moved in with our family. What most people don't know is that Alice needed a job. She spent her post-RCN days as the dog on the garbage truck in PMQs. She was NEVER late for supper. Courtesy of Dave Tyre // On the 2nd deployment to Korea, Alice also used the Gun Direction Room (GDR) as an "Action Station."
