Why HMCS Haida became the preserved Tribal

Why was Haida preserved rather than a British or Australian Tribal-class destroyer?

Haida combined survival with an unusually strong combat reputation and public identity, making her Canada's equivalent of Cossack.

Haida is first among a highly successful group rather than uniquely superior to every other Tribal. Her combat record and press identity gave her the public cachet needed to turn survival into preservation. Her cultural position in Canada resembles that of HMS Cossack in Britain, whose wartime exploits made the name unusually recognizable. Had Cossack survived, her manageable size and reputation might have supported a British preservation effort, while no surviving British or Australian Tribal carried quite the same combination of fame and opportunity.
