First of her class,
MACKENZIE, built by Canadian Vickers, Montreal,
was commissioned there on 06 Oct 1962. As with the other destroyer-escorts of her
class, she is named after a famous Canadian river - the Mackenzie River in
the North West Territories. Initially based at Halifax, she
sailed for the west coast on 02 Mar 1963. Arriving in Esquimalt on
06 May 1963, she spent the remainder
of her service life in Pacific waters.
In April 1964, HMCS
QU'APPELLE (call sign CYQD) transferred from the East to the West coast and
became the 2nd Squadron Senior ship. To avoid confusion with similar call
signs - HMCS MACKENZIE's was CGQD - HMCS MACKENZIE, being the junior ship,
had her call sign changed to CGYZ on 01 Aug 1964.
On 02-05 June 1967,
MACKENZIE had a port visit in Powell River, BC. From 05-07 June 1967 she visited
Sechelt, BC.
On 04 May 1970, HMCS
PROVIDER
508, HMCS MACKENZIE 261, HMCS YUKON 263 and HMCS TERRA NOVA 259
departed Esquimalt for a Far East cruise.
On 30 Jun 1973, crew
members of HMCS MACKENZIE boarded and seized
MV Marysville in a
reported million dollar drug seizure
Between 26 May 1986, and 16
Jan 1987, she received her DELEX refit at SRU(P).
After 30 years
of service, in the course of which she visited 96 foreign ports and
steamed 845,640 nautical miles either as a unit of the 4th Canadian
Destroyer Squadron or of Training Group Pacific, MACKENZIE was paid
off on 03 Aug 1993. On 16 Sep 1995, like several of her
sisters, she was sunk off Rum Island, near Sidney, B.C., as a
sport-divers' venue.
Historical note:
MACKENZIE was
commissioned in Montreal with a West coast crew. Initially based in Halifax
for her first 5 months after commissioning she departed for Esquimalt on 02
Mar 1963. This was her first trip through the Panama
Canal and other than one exercise in the Caribbean after which she returned
directly to Esquimalt she never returned to the Atlantic. She never had an
East coast crew and other than her stop in Halifax after her commissioning
in Montreal, she never returned to Halifax - the only one of the Cadillacs
to do so.
