In brief

About HMCS Nootka

Full article ↗

HMCS Nootka was a Fundy-class minesweeper that served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1938–1945. She saw service during the Second World War as a local minesweeper working out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was named for Nootka Sound. In 1943 she was renamed HMCS Nanoose to allow the unit name Nootka to be used by the destroyer HMCS Nootka. Following the war the ship was sold for mercantile use, becoming the tugboat Sung Ling. The ship's registry was deleted in 1993.

How HMCS Nootka compares

Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (404 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,800 GT. Browse every ship flagged Canada.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 13 naval / patrols flying the Canada flag.

The registry attributes 24 vessels to Yarrow Shipbuilders Limited, with a median tonnage of 3,850 GT, delivered between 1923 and 2008. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5344839 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; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.

Its IMO number, 5344839, 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 + 3×2 = 119 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
