As orginally configured the four
Tribals including HMCS
Iroquis and HMCS
Athabaskan had canted funnels, giving them a truly distinctive and even racier profile. Unfortunately it gave them a too distinctive radar and heat singnatures, and they received conventional funnels, similar to
Halifax class during their TRUMP refits.
A recent posting on
Boatnerd (go to Information Search) had some photos of
Athabaskan in refit at Seaway Marine & Industrial in St.Catharines (Port Weller). A huge tarped staging had been built around her mast, but that has now been removed. It is still hoped that she will be completed in time to leave the Seaway before freeze up.
