The training squadron ships sailed from Esquimalt for many years as they trained a generation of Canada’s naval officers and sailors in seamanship and navigation.

THE CADILLACS
In the mid-1950's the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) entered a new era with the commissioning of the first Canadian purpose designed and built anti-submarine Destroyer Escorts (DDEs). These ships reflected the RCN's accumulated knowledge and expertise in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and incorporated the most up-to-date ASW weapons and sensors. This in a ship design that for its time represented the state of the art in naval architecture, habitability and propulsion technology. Hence, as the ships of this St.Laurent and follow on classes came into service they were known as the "Cadillacs". They served in the Canadian fleet from the mid-fifties to well into the 1990s - the longest serving class of warships in our Navy's history. In those years they underwent significant modifications that included the installation of flight decks and hangars for the large CH-124 Seaking helicopters, the Canadian designed "Beartrap" helicopter haul down system and many other adaptations in weapons and sensors.
