HMCS Ypres
HMCS Ypres was one of 12 Battle class trawlers used by the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). Named after the Second and Third battles of Ypres, she was built by Polson Iron Works, in Toronto, Ontario, and was commissioned on 13 November 1917. Like many of the RCN's Battle class trawlers, ''Ypres'' was decommissioned in 1920. After being recommissioned on 1 May 1923 as a training ship, in November 1932 she was again decommissioned and was placed in reserve. Refitted as a gate vessel in 1938 and recommissioned, ''Ypres'', designated ''Gate Vessel 1'', formed part of the Halifax boom defences until 12 May 1940, when she was accidentally rammed and sunk by the British battleship , but without loss of life.〔Ken Macpherson and John Burgess, ''The ships of Canada's naval forces 1910-1993 : a complete pictorial history of Canadian warships'', (St. Catharines, Ont.: Vanwell Pub., 1994), 25. ISBN 0-920277-91-8〕 After this incident, the crews of other gate vessels would pretend to make elaborate preparations for a collision every time ''Revenge'' visited Halifax.〔(On the Rocks: Shipwrecks of Nova Scotia - Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Halifax, Nova Scotia )〕
