HMCS Resolute (hull number MCB 154) was a {{sclass2-|Bay|minesweeper}} that was constructed for the Royal Canadian Navy during the Cold War. Entering service in 1954, the ship served on the East Coast of Canada until 1964 when Resolute was decommissioned. The vessel was discarded in 1965. 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 29 August 1951 by Kingston Shipbuilding at their yard in Kingston, Ontario. Named for a bay located in Nunavut, Resolute was launched on 20 June 1953. The ship was commissioned on 16 September 1954.[6] Upon commissioning, Resolute joined the First Canadian Minesweeping Squadron.[7] In May 1956, the First Canadian Minesweeping Squadron deployed as part of the NATO minesweeping exercise Minex Sweep Clear One in the western Atlantic.[8] The ship paid off on 14 February 1964.[6] In 1965, Resolute was declared surplus.[6][9] ReferencesNotes1. ^Arbuckle, p. 101 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 Macpherson and Barrie, p. 276 7. ^{{cite magazine |title=New 'Sweeper Commissioned |magazine=The Crowsnest |location=Ottawa |publisher=Queen's Printer |date=October 1954 |volume=6 |number=12 |pages=3}} 8. ^{{cite magazine |title=First Canadian Minesweeper Squadron |magazine=The Crowsnest |publisher=Queen's Printer |location=Ottawa |date=August 1956 |volume=8 |number=10 |pages=18}} 9. ^Colledge, p. 528 Citations{{reflist|30em}}References
