MIL Davie Delivers

Refitted HMCS Iroquois

The MIL Davie, Inc., shipyard, in

Levis, Quebec, Canada, recently delivered the HMCS Iroquois to the

Canadian Navy after completing its full refit and modernization. The destroyer is now equipped with an area air defense capability and mod- ern command facilities.

HMCS Iroquois was drydocked and completely stripped of her ma- jor equipment and machinery. The ship's hull and structure were then thoroughly repaired and modified, while her weapons, sensors and com- munications equipment were re- placed or renovated.

Some of the destroyer's new equip- ment includes: a vertical launch standard missile system; a 76 mm gun; a Phalanx Close-In Weapon

System; Allison 570KF gas turbines generating 6,400 hp each; an inte- grated machinery control system; a water displacement fuel system; and new radars.

Under the Canadian Navy's

Tribal Class Update and Modern- ization Project (TRUMP), MIL Davie has received contracts from the

TRUMP prime contractor, Litton

Systems Canada, Ltd., to modern- ize all four Tribal Class destroyers, of which HMCS Iroquois is the sec- ond. The yard is also building three new frigates for the Canadian Pa- trol Frigate program.
