Question

What was the favorite part of the visit to HMCS Haida?

Short answer

B turret, the captain's bridge position, and high viewpoints aboard the ship were the standout experiences.

Notes

Their answers turn a light opening question into an orientation to the preserved destroyer. Alex singles out climbing onto B turret and recreating familiar captain photographs on the bridge. Drach chooses the experience of reaching progressively higher viewpoints over the ship. Some of this lay beyond the standard visitor route, revealing parts of Haida's layout that plans and photographs cannot convey as directly.
