What do you think about today's episode?
Does Haida deserve the title?:)
Thank you! and very much so!
Yes
World of Warships Official Channel do about destroyer hibiki pls she serve with the japanese navy and the soviet union
aspetto sempre le navi Italiane
At the time that Haida was in service Canada and the Canadian Navy would have used miles. We only adopted the metric system in the 1970s.
My father (RCNVR, 1939-45) was aboard Haida the night she and Athabaskan engaged the enemy in the English Channel. The Athabaskan was lost, and my dad remembered Haida’s CO, Harry deWolf, trying desperately to save as many of her crew as possible. My dad should have been on the Athabaskan that night, but was switched to the Haida at the last minute. That night was vivid in his memory for the rest of his life.
Our freedom was purchased by the heroism and sacrifice of your father and all who served. They must never be forgotten.
Thank God for men like your dad
Served on board Haida for her very last commission. Some ships vary in their lifetime, good to bad or vice versa, depending on crew.
HMCS Haida was the exception, this lady served proudly from beginning to end. It was a privilege to serve on her.
You and the military you worked for are heroes sir. Thank you for inspiring me and my children! God bless you
I'm more of a HMCS Quebec fan but that last commission must've been nice
You honour us with your service, sir.
Even though I’m not Canadian it’s great to see Canada in world of warships. They definitely deserve the recognition.
Thanks
We did the long, boring drag of convoy duty sparked occasionally by a few minutes of stark terror. But we hung in there and got the job done. In hockey or war, don't f**k with us.
Finally Haida. As a Canadian I thank WG for bringing her to the game. You missed Canada Day 150 by a year but at least you remembered Canada Day this year
they remembered NOTHING i baggered them into it by constantly posting on their vids
Skystalker Happy 151 ! 😊🇨🇦
indeed. I even had plans to go see Haida on Canada Day even before this episode and the ship were release or any hint of her coming made it to the light of day
@@halburd1 XD
@@Platinumsniper Its a sight to behold though it took me 6 years to find the hatch to the engine room
Harry DeWolf, her captain during the English Channel affairs, was one of the group who saved the Haida from scrapping and made her a museum at Toronto.
The RCN has named the first of class of the Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships after Harry DeWolf.
its in hamilton now, right next to HMCS Star
I remebered touring her as a kid a couple times when she was parked by Ontatio Place, whenever we'd go to the CNE.
@@416to613 it called the Harry DeWolf Class but I think it's named after him being the Chief of the Navy not the Captain of HCMS Haida
My dad served briefly on the Haida under Capt. DeWolf. He was aboard the night in April '44 that Haida and (the original) Athabaskan engaged two German destroyers off the coast of Normandy. Haida was the only vessel to survive the encounter intact. Sadly, Athabaskan was torpedoed and sank. Haida rescued as many men as they could find, although my dad always recalled that the Athabaskan's captain, John Stubbs, declined to be rescued, saying he would "stay with the men".
I was in the Sea Cadets when I was a teen in Toronto . One summer I got to work on the HMCS Haida . They had me polishing the brass all over the ship . Lol . Still it was great . I still feel a part of her . A real part of Canadian history.
You may remember Captain Stockwell then. I met him and became familiar with the Haida when I worked in Technical Services at Ontario Place one summer and I was asked to fix his TV. I seem to recal him saying something about being the only officer in the Canadian Navy in command of a sunken ship (it was ballasted to sit on underwater cradles).
We did that as Air cadets also, still was awesome.
My dad worked on it when he was a teen
@@Lorijenken I was an air cadet in Quebec, never got to do those things. I envy you lol.
I remember getting called out for scuffed 👢 boots
Brings a tear to my eye seeing our Navy recognized like this.
But now our governments have pissed on our navy. We don't even have a destroyer anymore! Not one!
Alamandorious 😊🇨🇦
we have frigates that have the capabilities of destroyers though
Matthew Blom that’s cuz we don’t need them we’re peace keepers
Alamandorious I feel ya there
I’m the proud son of a man who served on Haida in WWII , have toured the ship several times, it is a great tribute to those who stepped up and volunteered to go to battle with the enemy.
Life would be so different now had they not been so determined and brave, never forget them! Always honour them!
As a former member of the Friends of HMCS Haida, I used to give tours to visitors to the ship. I can tell you that the bridge of the Haida is the best place to be on a nice day on Hamilton Bay. Thanks to World of Warships and the Chieftain for producing this video! Two thumbs up!
My brother and I used to play on her in Toronto.
Being a Hamilton native, I always enjoyed going down to the harbour to see the Haida. What a sight.
*enjoy
The Canadians are always there, they get it done and they are humble about it.
As an an Aussie and a history fan..even I know the truth of Canadians comin to the fight with her allies when the shit hits the fan..every single time..they know what they're doin and never back away..just look at what the lads did as a bloody hard slogg through cold and flooded landscapes in the estuary battles near Antwerp against Jerry in WW2. Bloody Legends are our Canadian cobbers! Bless Em!👍😊..'Up the Canucks!'..
(/-\)..
I wish people would do research into canada past.
Thanks eh
@@shakesperezen6078 from -40 to + 40 C no weather can scare us
Shakespere Zen spoken like a true Aussie, much love from your pals in Canada!
Bit late to the party here, binge watching the naval ledgends videos. If the 2nd ww taught us anything, it was that there will always be a need for the canadians, from their tankers to their airmen and the infantry. They have earned their place in history and deserve recognition.
It's a rare time that i find myself wanting to thank WG, but this time...thanks for adding this ship means a lot to this Canadian anyway :)
69th like😏
@buttholebuddy3000 wargaming
This Canadian to and to belittle Canada's history of sacrifice or forgetting how many Canadians died and will never come home. Is a disgrace and I won't stand for it.
@yokedscrote ya
I'm sorry too eh
As a citizen of Hamilton. I'm so happy to see this ship getting some public love. Much love from me Wargaming.
I remember ,as an army Cadet , of the hasty p,s doing training on the Haida in the mid 1970. It was at Toronto. Of special note was that every Sunday at 12 o'clock noon firing off one round(blank of course). My team was successful in being awarded this honour and I was the cadet whom fired this round. This was a honour and lives on with me today as one of my proudest moments.
David, I remember touring the Haida back then when Ontario Place was under construction. Do you recall the Spitfire that was on display outdoors next to the Haida back then?
No not really, got off bus right onto ship then down to the racks to get a night's sleep.
great history. from a US vet and proud grandson of 4 Canadians. Thanks
I am not even Canadian and I am proud of the Haida after watching this! Great job, WoW, this is my favorite production that you guys put out for us. Thank you.
as a canadian, i really love that some of these ships are still around, they did some amazing things that will probably never be repeated ,
Woot woot Haida!!!! My wife is from Hamilton. I stop by and visit Haida often, it’s one of my favourite things in Hamilton!
From the U.S., very interesting and informative about one of our allies. The ship looks like it's ready to light the boilers and move out.
she is fully sea worthy ...
@@kaboom-zf2bl sadly no I was inside of her engine room. those boilers will never fire again.
@@TheHappyjack1 those ladders man they are dangerously fun!!
@@TheHappyjack1 that sucks last time i was on her she was running ... guess they let them rot away
My wife name is Haida,,and she's was giggling proud to have a ship bearing her name and fought gloriously,,hail Haida !!
Very well done. I remember seeing the Haida down by the CNE grounds in Toronto. It looks like Hamilton has done an admirable job of taking care of Haida.👍👍
There are quite a few comments here from Ontarians who maybe believe that HMCS Haida is "their" ship, - typical of Ontario - which often believes "their" province is the only true province of Canada. The HAIDA Native or Indigenous People (formerly and incorrectly termed "Indians" by Christopher Columbus) are a large group on the north coast of British Columbia, Canada's western-most province, they inhabit a large archipelago called (by them) "Haida Gwaii" (gw-eye) "the homeland", known in English as the Queen Charlotte Islands. They have a well earned reputation as being the fiercest fighters of the many Native Peoples along that coast from Alaska to Oregon, raiding and pillaging not unlike the Vikings of Scandinavia. Their islands have long been a source of lucrative timber from the huge trees that grow in the temperate rainforests there - many wooden Mosquito aircraft were built from them in WWII - around 1990 a landmark environmental battle was won largely by the Haida to establish a National Park on the untouched southern part of the Islands.
Sweet documentary. Being from the east coast Canada in one of the towns where convoys left from this puts a smile on my face. How about some love for HMCS Sackville the last corvette convoy escort ship sitting in Halifax harbour. Without them there was no supply line to Britain
Oh man... good ol’Sackville, all white and blue
My Dad served on the HMCS Haida during the Korea era. He served on a lot of Canadian navy vessels but his favourite one was always the Haida. I heard many stories about this ship growing up. I was blessed to have a private off season tour of the ship with him, Parks Canada reps and another crew member who served with him about 12 years back. The Haida is a beautiful ship. I am so glad they saved her from the wreckers at end of service. Thanks for the awesome video World of Warships!
I live in Hamilton and it's always a treat to go to the harbour and see the Haida. But, to be fair, this is the first time I've actually learned about its wartime history. Glorious.
Gooo Tabbies!...Luv fro the U of Guelph alumni!
Wonderful tribute to all the Canadians who gave their all, and those who continue to stand at the sharp end.
After so long, Haida is coming to World Of Warships: Legends!!! Thank you for bringing our ship to the game!!! Much love from Canada
Very well done. When I was a certified nursing assistant I have the honor of taking care of a gentleman that served on her. This gentleman was a seventeen-year-old Able Body Seaman during the second World War. He always talked about his old ship and how much she missed her
Greetings Canada from your neighbor across the Great Lakes!

pretty badass to have an entire gunnery accuracy award named after you. GO RCN!
I'm part-Haida so I'm obligated to like this.
Thank you for this tour. I served on HMCS Micmac 214 a sister ship in 1959/60 as a stoker. I learned so much about myself, life, and how to make a success your time; thank you to the RCN. Thanks again for the video; and there is much much more to see below decks!
My Mexican friend shared this with me knowing I'm seeking HMCS vessels in WW2 games that this just made my day. That I'm highly proud of the Canadian navy during WW2 era while respecting the current day variations. I love seeing this that I'm loving that Canadians are getting noted more and more without being tossed aside like trash when they actually achieved a lot more in reality. Would love to see HMCS Ontario & HMCS Uganda (Quebec) when the time comes for new Canadian vessels. ASW & excellent gunmanship :)
And Bonaventure!
sadly we wont see Ontario, Ontario is actually Minotaur (Not even same class, it's the name ship transferred post war)
ahh some good craft those ... I want to see stuff on Canadian Snipers ... our snipers spent more time in every allied unit than any other countries snipers ...
A big thanks to Canada's contribution in two world wars.
geoff burrill: I'm surprised not one Canadian replied to you! Typical quiet Canadians? Well, I will. Thanks back for the kind words. As we would say "No problem, eh?". Sorry so late.
My grandpa would thank you
tks geoff
Thank you my man
@@karenburrows9184 Looks like your wrong I replied
I live just 20 mins away from this and its so great to see this on tv
Good work! It took quite a bit of work getting some of that audio cleaned up. Glad things came out really nicely at the end
Noted that as well.. Thanx ,iChase. love your vids. Very Down-to-Earth and no BS. o7, Fellow CDN.
Yeah, how many times did you sneeze off camera and ruin the take? ;P
I agree. They did well on this video and I cannot wait for more. I love videos over the articles but they are both great. I cannot wait until the ship is in the game to play her. I will be playing a ship that is apart of my history for work. If it wasn't for her, I would have not sailed on the HMCS Iroquois that was just decommissioned 3 years ago. It is great to her here.
Sadly most Canadians don’t know much about our naval history, or how truly vital we were in the Second World War. Canada is one of the reasons the British didn’t fall to the nazi threat.
Actually there are some Canadian do understand Royal Canadian Navy and I do read military history and also I understand first hand about the Battle of Atlantic since my grandfather served from 1940 to 1945 and than didn't retire until 1964 from the navy. Canadian Navy had there section. RCN regular navy and Naval reserve units and the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve which help the navy win the Battle of Atlantic and we had the largest ship design and Canadas corvette like HMCS Sackville K181and HMCS Haida was also with HMCS Athabasca which unfortunately was sunk by German unit and depth charges usually rolled of the stern but I do know that depth charges also was thrown from port and starboard side and plus we also had the hedgehog for anti submarine warfare and muintiy was on board HMCS Haida and HMCS Ontario as well in 1949. HMCS Sackville belong to Canadas naval memorial trust in Halifax NS Canada and is Canadas last Corvette of WW2 also known as Canadas Flowers written by author Thomas E Lynch
@@wesleywesolowski5812 thank you for being MOST canadians, Wesley. Since DMb isn't prime minister and you're clearly 2/3 of the country ... tell us more about your future navy plans ... or iust r ead
Kyle I didn’t say the Canadian navy was one of the reasons Britain didn’t fall, I said Canada (as a whole) was one of the reasons Britain didn’t fall.
Kyle during the Battle of Britain there were a constant stream of supplies coming from Canada
Respect from Britain 🇬🇧
Thankyou for bringing her stories to light! She is a legend for Canadians! Proud to be from the GTA!
She was manned by Canadians was she not...? I've been to it many times so how can it not be Canadian. Don't even try saying "shes not Canadian shes British she was built at Newcastle - upon - Tyne" ... the just frig right off because She served in the CANADIAN navy and was named for the HAIDA people of British Columbia... besides ALLLLL that... how can something that has sat DOCKED in Canada for the last 50 years not be property of Canada? say your piece my friend

Now that is a beautiful ship. And the Canadians should be very proud of such an amazing gal and all those who served on board.
I get to visit her once in a while, shes a museum you can visit with a small donation. we may not have much but we have our girl still gives me goosebumps every time I am near her. - yes I even bought her in World of Warship.
Extremely well done video. Thankful that WG is finally recognizing that Canada had a very large and proud and capable Navy during WW2.
They are the best of the best ,Thankyou for what you did in the second world war .from the UK 🇬🇧..LEST WE FORGET.
Glad to see that ship being recognized, my great grandfather was an anti air gunner in way on that ship
Finally some recognition... a shame we're no longer the naval powerhouse we once were.
Sean Allard: Nah. As the man said, one gun is all you need, if you really know how to use it. Now, that's Canadian.
Those smiling Canadians are adorable. “Oh look there’s a torp eh, we should move out of its way, so it we don’t hurt it, eh”
Powerlifterusa: A Canadian is laughing, and laughing and laughing. Thanks so much for the sly (but loving) humour (or in your case, humor).
My Uncle, Gerald Catton served on the Haida during WW2 in the English channel.
He had one good memory of his experience which was he survived. Thanks to all who serve. Cheers 🇨🇦
Whoever is the editor of this video, I salute you. Every video so far has excellent soundtrack choices.
Cmon Wargaming, make a movie about the navy in WW2.
I'll pay to watch it, I promise.
We all would!
hell to tf no, the historical inaccuracy and the bs, just hell naw
Ewan Bennett
My lord, don't be so narrow minded.
Ewan
Do you even know what he commented and what you replied? They aren't connected.
I would too. If they make sure the history is correct to what is in the books that would be great as well. Like the battle in this video where done very well.
Wow, I have been on this ship! When I was a young lad in the mid to late 60`s, it was docked at Toronto`s waterfront and open for public tours! It was later moved to It`s current location in Hamilton Harbour!
My father is an original crew member. Have been to see it a couple times. Thank you for this story.
Live right next to her! She is an amazing ship. Lots of memories taking tours with my family and just waking up and going to see her
Seeing a "zipper-head" sullying the decks of such an august, sleek greyhound of death was difficult at first. Still, now that you've finally done a quality piece on a real warship (rather than all those little tiny army ration cans you've been climbing around for the last several years) I think I'll actually subscribe now!
In all seriousness, I don't game (my 4 y/o niece usually kicks my butt in Mario Kart ) but I have found your video series to be an OUTSTANDING educational tool in my high school classes and a great way to help the gear-heads I teach to actually appreciate history.
So, Bravo-Zulu for the work....and if you could find it in your heart to do a piece on my first ship, the remarkable HMCS KOOTENAY (DDE-259) I'd be forever grateful. Heart of Oak, and keep up the great work!
When I was in sea cadets, we took a trip on the HMCS KOOTENAY. Very nice ship, we rode from New Westminster BC to Victoria BC. The week after, She hit a tanker and its bow was all crushed in.
FINALLY, a subtitled episode of Naval Legend.
I was so excited to see this and show my wife. I was privileged enough to spend a weekend on the HMCS Haida when she was at Ontario Place in Toronto. Members of my Air Cadet squadron were there to learn, polish brass and clean off the goose poop. I even fired the 12 o'clock 4" gun. Thank you very much for posting.
Wooooo Hooooo. Welcome to the Hammer World of Warship viewers! Proud Hamiltonian here.
The Haida got her own WOW video?!?! That’s so cool! Just had to express myself.
It truly is an amazing ship. Well worth a visit
Oh wow! My Dad served aboard the Haida. Thanks so much for this!
Rudy Tian was a neighbour of mine for over 20 years in the 50's and '60's. During WW II, he was an able seaman serving on the Haida. Like most other war veterans that I met (we resided within a veterans housing project), Rudy didn't talk about his experiences.
The quality of these continues to improve. Amazing work. Beautifully done! :D Beats the hell out of most documentaries these days.
I am just proud of this damn ship
true
From Britain thank you for your help and service
🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧
Every time.
Favourite ship in the game, not only did this video do her well but the balancing, modelling, and other teams in game brought her to life as a beautiful and unique knifefighter, love playing it, only complaint is if i die in her i gotta wait to go back out again.
Awesome thanks for representing the Canadian Navy in the game and thanks for the Info about the Haida hope to see her in the game!
Was sad to see her leave Toronto. Been on board a couple of times when I was young
same i loved looking at that ship

My grandpa was one of the pom pom operators during wwII. thank you.
My dad was on the Micmac a sister ship and I was very young but it will always be a source of pride for me
I'm Canadian. Great to see some of our proud naval history here, we've gutted it at present. As for in game, the ship is definitely a gunboat you can tell. I think the ship will be most similar to the Blyskawiczka, but with worse torpedoes traded for better guns.
Still waiting on a Naval Legends episode covering The Big E.
Anyway, great video! nice to see the Canadians getting a presence in WOWS.
Official SWolf 👍👍👍
I'm from Hamilton but live in Nova Scotia now. I have a very old friend...had a very old friend.. He passed away a couple of years ago. He had a beautiful painting of Haida in his living room. A while before he passed away, I told him that I was going to Hamilton for a couple of weeks. He asked me if I was going to see Haida and I said probably. He said, "When you see her, you tell the first sailor you meet that I won the war with that ship." I'll tell you guys too.... a very proud WW2 Navy veteran named Jarvis Stewart, won the war with that ship.
Thanks for having this ship in the game and it mean a lot for me that its in the game
People these days more likely to remember different filters for their selfies than a heroic ship in the past. Even the textbook of grade 10 compulsory history course, did not mention the past of the hmcs at all, despite its name of canadian history.
So I am very glad wargaming started doing videos on those things. This video portrayed enough information in a very entertaining way, I would recommend my history teacher to show it to students.
That's more like it. The Canadians played one the most crucial roles in both World Wars.
With roughly 10% of Canada's population serving in the armed forces during the Second World War, plus all the tanks, aircraft, naval vessels and other weapons and kit Canada supplied for the war effort, Canada punched way, way above her weight. Indeed, the only Allied unit to reach its D-Day objective was a Canadian tank regiment.
It's unfortunate that Canada's contributions during the First and Second World War haven't been better recognized. But I suppose that may have had something to do with the fact that Canadian soldiers, sailors and aircrew have rarely fought for glory, but more because they wanted to do their jobs, do them well, and go home when their jobs were finished.

Awesome documentary! I honestly love the battle recreation.
I love the amount of hard work wargaming puts into these battle animations. They should make battle animations like this one at 11:43 for future naval legends videos that they plan on making.
Great Pictures and thanks for bringing the History. HMCS ANNAPOLIS, HMCS SASKATCHEWAN, HMCS ALGONQUIN, HMCS PROTECTEUR, HMCS WINNIPEG.
My Great Grandfather served on the Haida! Love this video!
I'm currently working on the Haida removing the exterior deck cover
36 knots,,, shit man, you can water ski at that speed !! Knowing the Canadian light hearted sense of humor, they probably did. Seriously, this war wagon kicked ass, and brought her crew home safe.

Thanks for your visit and great video Chief. You are welcome in Canada anytime.

We do our job . We are Canadian Volunteers . And still are today . Thank you .
Proudly built in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England.
God Bless Blighty!
there were plenty of aircraft for the RAF built proudly in Canada.........
The HMCS Ojibwa isn't too far from Hamilton, you should take a look at that!
Great job with this video! Amazing CG and a wonderful story. Canadians everywhere would be very proud to watch this.
I recall the Haida fondly, toured this ship a few times in the 1960's when it was retired and on display on the Toronto waterfront.
best cgi scene so far
They are getting even better, aren't they?
oh ya go go haida. My grandfather was on this ship in korea. I have a poster here that has her coat of arms and some paragraphs of history. Unfortunately this ship will probably be a Premium ship and I will have no way to get her.
my great grandfather worked on that ship in ww2 , cool to see other people relate to me in some way lol
can't pay 30 for your grandfather's ship?! Just skip one bottle of vodka
My grandfather was a gunner on the Haida in ww2. It has a real proud history that doesn't get recognized often enough.
as a canadian its good to be in an episode
i explores and went on the haida to look around for a school trip and it was the coolest experience
My Father was a Chief Petty Officer on the Haida during WW2.. Want to get his war history
4 dislikes already..... She sank 9 ships so there should be 5 more dislikes coming
As long as the "dislikes" have a Hunnish accent, I'm sure we'll survive.
Well she sank 51 ships then
Dislikes from jealous cowards
Salty wehraboos get salty for every good Allied ship being mentioned. I mean, their favorite Kriegsmarine had sunk more ships than the Allies which was quite an achievement. What more does these people want, Germany winning WW2?
You saying it sunk 80 ships!?
My grandfather served as a gunner on a tribal class in Korea i think it was the Huron excellent documentary i have to show my uncle. Answered alot of questions for me. awesome doc thankyou
My very good friend, Alec Moore was a stoker on the Huron when she went to Korea.
Very high quality film. Captures all the history and remains exciting.
Finally! I've been waiting for this!
My uncle James Young was on her during WW 2 great guy my fav Uncle
We love Canada and Canadians !!! A friend from Greece
This beautiful ship is moored about a 5 minute drive from us in Hamilton Harbor. My GF and i took a tour of it a few years back.
