Description: Canada: McClelland and Stewart Limited, 1987. Reprint. Hardcover. ISBN: 0771018126. "A memorial - to a ship, to the men who served in her, and to Canadians who served at sea more than forty years ago. The Athabaskan was the second of the Canadian Tribal Class Destroyers, sister ship of the Haida. The story of the Athabaskan's life and death has been lovingly retrieved from forgotten archives and her daily log. In her short life she was pounded by the sea and battered by bombs, gunfire, and torpedoes. She spent her finest and final hours fighting alongside her sisters in the 10th Flotilla in 1944, helping to clear the English Channel of enemy ships prior to the D-Day invasion.
