The Royal Canadian Navy with over a century of service under its belt has always answered its call to duty. In particular, on 30 July 1950 [1],[5], the Royal Canadian Navy received orders to deploy part of its fleet to Japan to assist its allies in an ongoing conflict in Korea. The previous month, on June 24, 1950, growing tensions on the Korean Peninsula exploded and the small border town of Ongijin was heavily bombed as the first light of dawn broke the horizon [1],[5]. Soon after, North Korean troops began crossing the border, supported heavily by their armored divisions, signaling the start of the next major Korean War [1]. On 27 June 1950, the RCN began preparing its Pacific Fleet for wartime status following the Security Council meeting at the United Nations that day [1]. Canada's three major Pacific destroyers were in various states of readiness; HMCS Cayuga, being the senior ship, was the best equipped at the time, followed closely by HMCS Athabaskan and finally HMCS Sioux which was in dry dock at the time [1]. That day the Pacific Fleet received final orders to begin preparation and cancel all planned training and maintenance: "You are to sail "Cayuga", "Sioux" and "Athabaskan" from Esquimalt at 16 knots to Pearl Harbor on Wednesday July 5, 1950...[1]”. As operational needs increased during the conflict, more and more ships began to deploy to the Korean coast on a rotational basis, including the Atlantic Fleet: HMCS Haida, Huron, Iriquois, Nootka and the HMCS Crusader of the Pacific Fleet 1950-1955 [1]. During the conflict, Canada's naval contribution had a significant impact on coalition efforts to protect South Korea [5]. world... half of the document...
