Geschiedenis
Built as HMS Kempenfelt in 1930, HMCS Assiniboine was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1939 and served as a destroyer during WWII. Under the command of LCDR John Stubbs, the Assiniboine rammed and sank U-210 off Newfoundland in 1942. She was paid off in 1945 and went aground on Prince Edward Island while under tow to a breaker’s yard in Baltimore, Maryland.
