Commissioned at Sorel on 05 Jun 1941, Sorel
arrived at Halifax on 12 Jun 1941. She joined Halifax Force later that
month but transferred in Sep 1941 to Newfoundland Command and left
Sydney on 29 Sep 1941 to escort convoy SC.47 as far as Iceland.
After two round trips to Iceland, she left St. John's on 14 Jan
1942, to join SC.64, the first "Newfie-Derry" convoy, and
was thereafter employed as an ocean escort on that run principally
with EG C-4. She took part in two particularly hard-fought convoy
battles: ON.127 (Aug 1942); and HX.229 (Mar 1943). Her
westbound trip after the latter convoy was her last; after a major
refit at Lunenburg from Apr to Jun 1943, and work-ups at Pictou,
she joined EG W-2 of WLEF, transferring in Apr 1944, to W-7 and
in Oct 1944, to W-1. Late in May 1944, she underwent a refit
at Liverpool, N.S., that included fo'c's'le extension, followed by a
month's repairs at Halifax and three weeks' workups in Bermuda in
Oct 1944. She was paid off at Sorel on 28 Jun 1945, and broken up
at Hamilton in 1947.
