HMCS Huron (G24) was a Canadian destroyer built in Great Britain during World War II. The keel for this installation was laid in 1941, launched in June 1942, and entered the Royal Canadian Navy in 1943. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 115 meters, and the width was 11.13 meters. Full displacement reached approx. 2500 tons, and the maximum speed was approx. 36-37 knots. Armament at the time of launch consisted of three paired 120-mm guns, two 102-mm guns and a quadruple 533-mm torpedo tube. HMCS Huron (G24) was one of the Tribal (aka Afridi) class destroyers. These types of ships were originally designed as light cruisers and only later developed as destroyers. Units of this type were characterized by a relatively high water tonnage, they also emphasized strong artillery at the expense of, for example, limited torpedo armament. They were also distinguished by a good maximum speed and high seaworthiness. They also later received ASDIC, which greatly enhanced their anti-submarine warfare (ASV) capabilities. They are quite often considered successful units with high combat value. One of the destroyers of this type was HMCS Huron (G24), which was built at the Vickers Armstrong shipyard in Newcastle upon Tyne, Great Britain. Shortly after being put into service, the unit was assigned to cover Arctic convoys heading to the USSR. This service lasted until February 1944. A few months later - in June 1944 - HMCS Huron supported the Allied landings in Normandy. After the end of the Second World War, the destroyer was placed in reserve, but in 1950 it returned to active service and participated in the Korean War (1950-1953). It was decommissioned for the second time in 1963, and two years later it was sold for scrap metal.
