Historia
HMCS Assiniboine II was a St. Laurent-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy as a destroyer escort and later the Canadian Forces from 1956 until 1988. She was the second ship to bear the name. Entering service in 1956, the ship underwent conversion to a destroyer helicopter escort (DDH) in 1962, the conversion performed primarily by Victoria Machinery Depot. She was officially re-classed with pennant DDH 234 on 28 June 1963. After being paid off in 1988, the vessel was used as a harbour training ship until being discarded in 1995. The vessel sank under tow to the breakers that year.
