History
Sackville was
built in 1941 in Saint John, New Brunswick, as an early short focsle Corvette.
She served with distinction throughout WW2 on North Atlantic convoys, taking
part in the sinking of several U-Boats. Converted post-war to a controlled
loop layer and later on to a hydrographic vessel, Sackville served in many
capacities until she was decommissioned in 1982. At that time, she was
taken in hand for re-conversion to corvette configuration and in May 1985 was
dedicated as the National Naval Memorial at Halifax Nova Scotia. Sackville
is the last Flower class corvette remaining of several hundred built.
