HMCS Athabaskan was a Royal Canadian Navy destroyer that served during World War II. She was named after the First Nations people of Alberta, Canada. The ship was launched in 1943 and commissioned into service in 1944.
During her service, HMCS Athabaskan participated in many important battles and operations, including the invasion of Normandy on D-Day in 1944. She also took part in the Battle of the Bay of Biscay and the Liberation of Holland.
In April 1944, HMCS Athabaskan was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat while on a mission to intercept enemy shipping off the coast of France. The ship went down with the loss of 128 crew members, including her captain.
HMCS Athabaskan is remembered for her service and sacrifice during World War II, and she remains a symbol of Canada's naval heritage.
