HMCS Algonquin (DDG 283) is an Iroquois-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1973 until 2015.

Algonquin is the fourth ship of her class which is sometimes referred to as the Tribal-class or simply as the 280-class. She is the second vessel to use the designation HMCS Algonquin. Algonquin carries the hull classification symbol DDG.

Algonquin was originally designed to be primarily an anti-submarine destroyer. The Iroquois-Class destroyers were the first (other than AORs) to carry multiple helicopters, they were also the first ships to be powered entirely by gas turbines in a COGOG (Combined Gas Or Gas) arrangement. Well suited to sea conditions in the North Atlantic. Algonquin underwent a major refit called TRUMP from 1987-1991 (Tribal Class Update and Modernization Program) and emerged as an area air defence destroyer.[4]

She was assigned to Maritime Forces Pacific (MARPAC) and was homeported at CFB Esquimalt.

Command Team

Lineage

The first ship in the RCN to bear the name Algonquin was a V Class destroyer, laid down in the United Kingdom as HMS Valentine but later commissioned in 1944 by the Naval Service of Canada as HMCS Algonquin. During the World War II, she saw much action while attached to the British Home Fleet, including taking part in an attack on the German battleship Tirpitz. The Algonquin was also present at the D-Day invasion and escorted convoys to Murmansk (Russia). She was paid off in 1946 at the end of the war, but was re-commissioned in 1953 after extensive modification to anti-submarine destroyer-escort standard. She was paid off for the final time in 1970.[8]

Service

Algonquin began her service with the Royal Canadian Navy's MARLANT (Maritime Atlantic) stationed out of Halifax, N.S. She was transferred to MARPAC (Maritime Pacific) in Aug 94[9] where she served on MARPAC missions protecting Canada's sovereignty in the Pacific Ocean and enforcing Canadian laws in its territorial sea and Exclusive Economic Zone. Algonquin has also been deployed on missions throughout the Pacific and to the Indian Ocean; specifically the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea on anti-terrorism operations.

TRUMP

On 26 Oct 1987, Algonquin entered refit, dubbed TRUMP (Tribal Class Update and Modernization Project), at MIL Davie, Lauzon. Labour problems and contract disputes delayed completion of the work until 11 Oct 1991.[8]

As a modernization concept, origins of TRUMP date back to early 1980s. By mid-80s the Canadian Federal Government had decided on the necessity of upgrading of Tribal Class c1970s ships and released a RFP foreseeing complete refurbishment. The project resulted in a thorough refurbishment of the ship and modernization of mechanical, electronic and weapon systems.

Litton Systems Canada was selected Prime Contractor and Project Manager after submitting a 4000+ page detailed proposal which emphasized, among other elements, maximum automation and software engineering in particular. This aspect of the TRUMP was extremely important due to desired high level of automation in real-time command and control functions on the refurbished ships. Software Engineering MIL-STDS being fairly recent and not yet widely assimilated, Litton had to exercise particular caution in the area of Software Configuration Management and Quality Assurance. Litton's Proposal to the Canadian Federal Government had a 250-page SCM and SQA Policies section which was accepted without a single edit due to highly sensitive and farsighted work of the Advance Programs Division Technical Contract Team at Litton who eventually established a massive and capable engineering force by 1988-89.

The entire class underwent major retrofits in the early 1990s as a part of the Tribal Class Update and Modernization Project (TRUMP). These refits had the effect of re-purposing the ships for area air defence; following TRUMP, Iroquois-class ships were also referred to as air defence destroyers. This resulted in an update of vessel designation from DDH (Destroyer Helicopter) to DDG (Destroyer Guided Missile). Their former anti-submarine role was largely assumed by the Halifax-class frigates.

The main weapon of the new design is the Mk.41 VLS, firing 29 SM-2 Block III long-range anti-aircraft missiles. To provide room for the VLS, the original 5-in L54 gun was replaced with the smaller, but much faster firing, Oto Melara 76 mm gun, relocated from the deck to the bridgework above it. A Phalanx CIWS was also added for self-defence. The torpedo tubes were retained, but the Limbo and Sea Sparrow systems were removed.

The modernization also replaced the original Pratt & Whitney FFT-12 cruise turbines with newer 12,788 shp 570-KF engines from Allison. The speed remained the same, however, as the weight had increased to 5,100 tons full load. The original split funnel was replaced by a simpler single funnel, giving the ship a reduced heat signature due to cooler engine exhaust.[10]

On 30 August 2013, Algonquin was involved in a collision at sea with HMCS Protecteur while conducting towing manoeuvres en route to Hawaii. There were no injuries. The ship was able to return to her home port of Esquimalt, BC, to undergo a full damage assessment.

It was assessed that Algonquin suffered extensive damage to her port side hangar and remained alongside in Esquimalt.

Considering the relatively short service life remaining for Algonquin, which was scheduled to be retired in early 2019, and the cost of repairs, it was deemed that the expense of re-instating the ship to full operating capability would not be a responsible use of public funds. Therefore, on 19 September 2014 it was announced that Algonquin would be paid off. Algonquin was paid off on 11 June 2015.[11]
