HMCS HAIDA was commissioned on August 31, 1943.  HAIDA's first assignment was convoy escort duty in the North Atlantic to ensure the safe passage of the vital supply convoys en route to Russia.  HAIDA's second posting, which started in late 1943, proved to be the most successful and important of her long and outstanding career.

HAIDA distinguished herself as Canada's most active warship by sinking no less than nine German ships in the period from April to September 1944. She was also involved in numerous other actions resulting in German shipping losses such as the Battle of North Cape in December 1943. 

After WWII, of more than 300 ships that comprised the RCN during Wold War II, only HMCS HAIDA, HMCS SACKVILLE, and the CGS Acadia remain.  In the Korean War, among 8 ships that participated, only HMCS HAIDA survived.
