HMCS Fraser Then and Now

Canada’s newest warship, HMCS Fraser, is being built to honor a tragic but heroic chapter in naval history—the original HMCS Fraser, which sank in 1940 during WWII while evacuating Allied troops from France, losing 47 sailors. Named after the fallen vessel, the new destroyer marks a powerful link between past sacrifice and present strength, with high-ranking admirals like Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee celebrating the legacy as the Royal Canadian Navy steps up its game. The original ship, once HMS Crescent, served bravely before its fateful collision with HMS Calcutta—its story, and the namesake ships that followed, keep Canada’s naval memory alive and proud.
