USS Yarnall (DD-143) - As HMCS Lincoln

As HMCS Lincoln

In July 1942, HNoMS Lincoln became HMCS Lincoln when she was transferred from the Royal Norwegian Navy to the Royal Canadian Navy — although still manned by Norwegians. Her duty in Canadian waters continued until the end of 1943, when she returned to Britain departing Halifax on 19 December and arriving back in Londonderry Port on Christmas Day. Early in 1944, the venerable warship was placed in reserve in the River Tyne. Her service to the Allied cause, however, had not quite ended.
