Special

Huron — Commonwealth special premium Tier VII destroyer.

Named after an Indian tribe in North America, HMSC Huron was the third out of eight Canadian Tribal-class destroyers. She was laid down at a shipyard in Newcastle in 1941. The ship served within the 3rd destroyer flotilla and, as part of it, participated in escorting six northern convoys in 1943 and 1944. In the spring of 1944, she was engaged in operations against French coastal positions, and in 1945, she escorted convoys to Murmansk again.

Huron was first released for sale on 10 August 2022.
