@46masters : Hi there: My father ( John Bamford ) served on the Sioux during the second world war.

He was a gunner and On the 3 rd day of the Normandy invasion he managed to shoot down a german plane trying to strafe the Canadian ships anchored off the shore and performing inland shelling of German positions.

He considered himself lucky as he sighted and trailed the plane and started firing at the right time.

The lone building seen on the beach head was the land mark used for inland shelling.

@elswick1542 Thanks for posting this. My uncle served on HMAS Arunta during the war. He loved that ship and was happy with her final fate. While being towed to a breakers yard in Asia it sunk in Australian waters.

@Hawkeye323232 Just two points. The Tribals were not Canadian. As replacement for the RNs "I" and "J" classes, they were built between 1936 and 1938 in response to the "super" destroyers of Japan, France and Italy. Small batches were also built for the Canadian and Australian navy.

The US may have " given" you some old destroyers, we had to pay for ours.

Nice tribute to a capable class of fleet that always seemed to be in the thick of the action .

@Hawkeye323232 Very strange they sure like a fight.IIR the Canadian Tribals had the 4" DP guns a far better choice than ours with 4.7".

@elswick1542 thats because ww2 Tribal class are canadian, and I'm certain We sold if not gave at cost some tribals for convoy and fleet defence , considering we used ship yards in england to build them, Thank all you from the old place for that, the 5 ww1 era Clemsons the yanks gave us were clearly unsutible to the challeng of the wolf pack! nice gesture though considering their nuetrallity at that point in the war...always late for a buntch who like a good fight...strang no?
