[edit] Battle Honours

The official website (http://www.marine.forces.gc.ca/algonquin/about/ship_about_e.asp?category=12) says:

BATTLE HONOURS WORN WITH PRIDE WITH THE PRESENT HMCS ALGONQUIN

  • Norway 1944
  • Normandy 1944
  • Artic 1944-1945

So it would seem that Canadian ships perpetuate the battle honours awarded to ships of the same name. This would be reasonable since the Army does about the same with perpetuating CEF battle honours. If correct, these should be added back in. J Costello 14:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

There being no other opinion/information on the matter, I'm going to reinsert the battle honours.J Costello 19:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DDG or DDH 283

I raised this at Talk:CFB Esquimalt but should have asked here instead. The official web page for the Algonquin refers to her as DDG 283. I have changed the name of this article to match that, but there are various places where she is DDH 283. Which is correct? --KenWalker | Talk 16:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
