HMCS Chignecto (hull number MCB 156) was a {{sclass2-|Bay|minesweeper}} that served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Cold War. The ship entered service in 1953 and in 1954, was transferred to the French Navy and renamed La Bayonnaise. Serving as a minesweeper until 1973, the ship became a territorial patrol ship and remained in service until 1976. La Bayonnaise was broken up for scrap in 1977. Design and descriptionThe Bay class were designed and ordered as replacements for the Second World War-era minesweepers that the Royal Canadian Navy operated at the time. Similar to the {{sclass2-|Ton|minesweeper|1}}, they were constructed of wood planking and aluminum framing.[2][3] Displacing {{convert|390|LT|t}} standard at {{convert|412|LT|t}} at deep load, the minesweepers were {{convert|152|ft|m|abbr=on}} long with a beam of {{convert|28|ft|m|abbr=on}} and a draught of {{convert|8|ft|m|abbr=on}}.[2][3] They had a complement of 38 officers and ratings.[2][4]The Bay-class minesweepers were powered by two GM 12-cylinder diesel engines driving two shafts creating {{convert|2400|bhp|lk=in}}. This gave the ships a maximum speed of {{convert|16|kn|lk=in}} and a range of {{convert|3290|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|12|kn}}.[3][5] The ships were armed with one 40 mm Bofors gun and were equipped with minesweeping gear.[2][3] Operational historyThe ship's keel was laid down on 4 June 1951 by Marine Industries at their yard in Sorel, Quebec. Named for a bay located between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Chignecto was launched on 13 June 1953.[6][7] The ship was commissioned on 1 December 1953.[6] Chignecto served with the Royal Canadian Navy for three months before being paid off on 31 March 1954.[6] Transferred the same day to the French Navy, the ship was renamed La Bayonnaise and given the hull number P 654.[6][7] She served as a minesweeper until 1973 when the minesweeping gear was removed and she transferred to the Pacific for duty as an overseas territories patrol vessel.[8] The vessel was discarded in 1976 and broken up for scrap at Papeete, Tahiti.[7][9]ReferencesNotes1. ^Arbuckle, p. 26 2. ^1 2 3 Macpherson and Barrie, p. 271 3. ^1 2 3 Gardiner and Chumbley, p. 49 4. ^Gardiner and Chumbley claim the complement was 40. 5. ^Moore, p. 82 6. ^1 2 3 Macpherson and Barrie, p. 272 7. ^1 2 Colledge, p. 139 8. ^Moore, p. 171 9. ^{{csr|register=MSI|id=6123029|shipname=Chignecto |accessdate=13 November 2016}} Citations{{reflist|30em}}References
