Chapter ยท 0:04-8:38

Haida as the last Tribal-class survivor

The opening uses HMCS Haida's preserved hull to introduce the Tribal class as ships whose stories range far beyond one surviving museum ship.

Notes

The video begins at Haida, then widens to Nubian, Eskimo, Asante, Tartar, and the other Tribal-class destroyers that did not survive into preservation. Eskimo's lost bow and the wartime records of her sisters establish the scale of the class's combat history. Haida's preserved hull is the remaining physical doorway into those battle honours, losses, and memories. Her survival explains the video's focus while keeping the whole class in view.
