    Was walking along the Hamilton, ON lakefront and snapped a few pictures of the last remaining Tribal class destroyer, HMCS Haida. Shown below in its restored Cold War era guise.

    If you could get photos of inside, and on deck, I'd love to see them. :)

    I'm sure there are some floating around the internet, I'm not sure when I'll be able to go back. Probably not before it starts ****ing here.

    I've taken many history classes on field trips to the Hamilton Air Museum and the HMCS HAIDA. The kids just LOOOVE the HAIDA. Although I wish more rooms were open..there are some rooms were are sealed, and since its a museum piece, it certainly isn't holding any national secrets...lol

    Being an ex tin-can sailor, I would guess those spaces are closed due to trip, falling, and head banging hazards.
