Commissioned on 30 Apr 1919, she operated with the Atlantic
Fleet as USS McCOOK until placed in reserve at Philadelphia in 1922.
Re-commissioned in Dec 1939, she again served with the Atlantic
Fleet prior to being transferred to the RCN at Halifax as HMCS ST CROIX
on 24 Sep 1940. She sailed for the U.K. via St. John's on 30 Nov 1940, but ran
into a hurricane and had to return. Arriving at Halifax on 18 Dec
1940, she remained under repair until mid-Mar 1941, when she took up
the role of local escort. In Aug 1941, she joined NEF, escorting
convoys to Iceland. In May 1942, following six months' refit at
Saint John, N.B., she escorted her first convoy, SC.84, to the U.K.,
and was thereafter employed constantly on the
"Newfie-Derry" run. In Apr 1943, she was assigned to EG
C-1, and in Jun 1943 to C-5. During this period she sank U 90 while
escorting convoy ON.113 on 24 Jul 1942, and on 04 Mar 1943, while
accompanying convoy KMS.10 from Britain to Algeria, she assisted
HMCS SHEDIAC in destroying U-87. In Aug 1943, ST CROIX was
allocated to support group EG 9 for an offensive against U-boats
crossing the Bay of Biscay, but the group was diverted to the
assistance of a series of convoys beset by U-boats in the Atlantic.
While thus engaged, with convoy ON.202, ST CROIX was torpedoed and sunk by U 305 on 20
Sep 1943, south of Iceland. Five officers and 76 men were
rescued by HMS ITCHEN, but only one of these survived the loss of ITCHEN
on 23 Sep 1943.
U-Boats Sunk: (1) U-90 (Kptlt Hans-Jorgen
Oldorp) sunk on 24 Jul 1942 by HMCS ST CROIX I81 in
position 48-12 N, 40-56 W
(2) U-87
(Kptlt Joachim Berger), a Type VIIB U-boat, sunk on 04 Mar 1943 by HMCS SHEDIAC
K110 and HMCS ST CROIX I81 west of Leixoes, in position 41-36 N,
13-31 W. Of her crew of 49 there were no survivors.

Note:
Of the 81 of the ST CROIX'S crew that were rescued by HMS ITCHEN all but one perished when the
ITCHEN was sunk a few days later.
Other than two crew members identified by the sole survivor of the
crew of the ST CROIX as being on HMS ITCHEN when she was torpedoed,
it is not known who were picked up by HMS ITCHEN and therefore all
were recorded as having been killed when ST CROIX was sunk. |

HMCS ST CROIX I81 - 18 Dec
1940
A
battered HMCS ST CROIX enters Halifax Harbour after
enduring a powerful North Atlantic storm. This photograph shows some
of the damage inflicted on ST CROIX, including guardrails
hanging over the ship's side (centre) and broken windows on
the ship's bridge (top centre). Less visible but more
serious storm damage included bent steel plating on the bridge and
below-decks flooding caused by massive waves. The photograph also
emphasizes the ship's narrow hull, which contributed to its
instability in heavy seas and to poor handling.

Note: The date 1943 is written on the card in pencil, the rest is in ink. It is not known who wrote
the year on the card. It appears Ken mailed this card very early in hopes it
would arrive in time for Christmas.
