| DDH-206 HMCS SAGUENAY > My first ship, I spent over six years on board her from 74-78 and 85-88. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
< HMCS Saguenay was sunk near Lunenburg NS. She was cut up to allow final explosions to roll her to starboard, as she sank. She was to lay her on her side as a diving attraction & artificial reef. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HMCS Saguenay fought back and, as > designed, she righted herself before sinking. She sat nearly upright on the bottom the rest of the year. Winter storms finally layed her over. A sad end, yet better than razor blades as she'll always be in Nova Scotia waters. |

| New Construction Update! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Our East Coast shipyards are back to doing what they do best, building state-of-the-art ships. Our newest is nearing completion at SJSL. Construction was kept secret for over two years, being reveiled to the public last month. Only one Mega-Module, the Shuttle Bay, is yet to be erected. Current critical path schedules require full loadout and anti-matter-conversion within four months, to allow for undocking and launch early next year... As peso d'sea. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
