It isn't uncommon for warship names to be "recycled".

Most of the warships in the RCN today aren't the first to bear their names and have predecessors in the RCN or RN.

Yep - look at the USN - how many ships have been called Enterprise?

I though there was only one USS Enterprise

We came close to having HMCS Enterprise, but the transfer of HMS Enterprise to the RCN never went ahead.

Poor old Iroquois ... first, Protecteur, then Iroquois ... I knew them when they still had "new car" smell.

First was Huron.

I have a top to bottom video tour of 282 from 1991. I keep forgetting to digitize and post it.

I was never on the Huron.

I remember seeing her clean out of the water at the Port Weller Drydocks, years ago. That's probably where they buggered up her Trump refit.

Ah! I thought you meant 'first to go'.
