HMCS Micmac (R10)/214 was a Destroyer of the Tribal class built in Canada by Halifax shipyard and served in the Royal Canadian Navy. Commissioned in September 1954, she wore pennants R10, then later 218 until she was paid off in March 1964.
HMCS Micmac was later recommissioned as an SCSTC on the lower section of CFB Shearwater. Its ships bell is now located on the mast of HMCS Acadia in Cornwallis NS. Also of the five General Training divisions at HMCS Acadia one is named after the ship.
She was the only Canadian Tribal class destroyer to never fire a shot in anger, arriving too late for World War 2 and was not deployed to Korea.
