Canada to Receive Four British Escort Destroyers
Canada will gain four escort destroyers gifted by the United Kingdom to protect western North Atlantic convoy routes. The ships, named after rivers Saxatchewan, Kootenay, Ottawa, and Gatineau, will aid in countering the U-boat menace and reflect Britain's support for the Dominions. The Canadian Navy has grown from 1,700 personnel to 60,000, with a target of 90,000 next year. There are now over five hundred fighting craft, including destroyers, corvettes, and minesweepers.
