HMCS Comox was built in 1938, making it 88 years old. It is one of 79 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,097 GT. Across the whole of the 1930s the registry holds 552 vessels, median 1,138 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 18 vessels to Burrard Dry Dock, with a median tonnage of 3,818 GT, delivered between 1938 and 1992. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5344841 this registry holds 19 other vessels, whose median build year is 1946 and which range from 1902 to 1962. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1938.

Its IMO number, 5344841, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 3×6 + 4×5 + 4×4 + 8×3 + 4×2 = 121 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
