What Ship/Class is this?

A person in the OAF is building a ship, but won't tell us what it is, just giving clues so maybe you guys can help:
The Clues:
1. she has a seaplane.
2. she has a main armament of 4 guns, of 5inch 38 caliber
3. anti aircraft guns of 20 and 40 mm size
4. 3 propshafts 1 rudder
5. Allied

Any Ideas?

All I can think of is a Wind class Icebreaker. Not sure if it had a float plane though.

EDIT- Floatplane was fitted, a Grumman Duck so that would be my guess.

 

Was I right?

 

I think so. I don't believe the person in my club (Ontario Attack Force) has said for sure. But it is the only possible answer I've seen so far.

Yes, he is building it as the Eastwind.

 

An interesting choice.

 

He likes building small ships.

I have to agree with that. I like the smaller and earlier ships myself.

 

I'm kind of equal opportunity myself as far as size goes, but I do like the older ships.

 

I've got a wind class hull that I eventually intend to build the USS Burton Island out of. She was my Father's ship.
