The HMCS Sackville was part of the 1939-40 building program. Constructed at Saint John, New Brunswick, and commissioned in late 1941, she had the short forecastle "whaler" appearance characteristic of early construction. During periodic refits she was altered -as were all corvettes- in an attempt to make her both more habitable and a more capable anti-submarine escort. Her forecastle was lengthened, mine-clearing equipment eliminated; and anti-submarine capabilities enhanced via improved radar and ASDIC, Hedgehog ASW mortars, and a heavier depth charge load. Sackville has been meticulously restored to her late war 1944 fit, and carries the aforementioned enhancements.
