HMCS Chaleur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Several Canadian naval units have been named HMCS Chaleur.
- HMCS Chaleur I was a RCMP patrol vessel transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in September 1939. It was renamed Chaleur I and stationed at Saint Jean on Île-d'Orléans to inspect ships in the St. Lawrence River heading to Quebec City.
- HMCS Chaleur II was a Royal Canadian Navy shore establishment in Quebec City that derived its name from HMCS Chaleur I.
- HMCS Chaleur (MCB 144) (I) was a Bay class minesweeper that served with the Royal Canadian Navy from June-September 1954 before being sold to France as La Dieppoise. The name Chaleur was chosen in honour of the service of Chaleur I and Chaleur II during World War II.
- HMCS Chaleur (MCB 164) (II) was a Bay class minesweeper that served in the Royal Canadian Navy and later the Canadian Forces from 1957-1999. She used the same name as the first Chaleur but was issued a different pennant.
