HMCS CHAUDIERE
In January 1944, the ship we are named after, HMCS CHAUDIERE, (former British HMS HERO) participated in the largest battle of World War II, the Battle of the Atlantic.
HMCS CHAUDIERE became a member of EG C-2, Mid Ocean Escort Force, and on 6 March 1944, she shared in the destruction of U 744. In May she was assigned to EG 11, Western Approaches Command, for invasion support duty, and was present on D-Day. On 20 and 28 August 1944 respectively she assisted in the sinking of U 984 west of Brest, and of U 621 off La Rochelle. During the next three months she was employed in patrol and support duties in the North Atlantic, Bay of Biscay, and English Channel.
