Question

Would a bow-to-bow arrangement with Haida be appropriate for a preserved Halifax-class frigate?

Short answer

Bow-to-bow is favored, though limited dock space at Hamilton would complicate the arrangement.

Notes

A bow-to-bow arrangement is favored for placing a preserved Halifax-class frigate beside HMCS Haida. The available dock space at Hamilton is an immediate constraint on that idea. A visitor recalls seeing Haida at its earlier berth in Toronto's Exhibition Park. Plans to change the park are given as the reason the ship could no longer remain there.
