  • HMS Foxhound (H69) war einer der acht Zerstörer der F-Klasse der britischen Royal Navy. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Schiff mit den Battle Honours „Atlantic 1939–41“, „Narvik 1940“, „Norway 1940“, „Malta Convoys 1941“ und „Mediterranean 1941“ ausgezeichnet. Am 8. Februar 1944 wurde der Zerstörer von der Royal Canadian Navy übernommen und in HMCS Qu'Appelle umbenannt. Der Zerstörer wurde von Londonderry als Basis gegen U-Boote im Bereich der North Western Approaches und 1944 auch zur Sicherung des Landungsraums in der Normandie und dann gegen die verbliebenen deutschen Stützpunkte an der französischen Atlantikküste eingesetzt. Von Mai bis September 1945 diente der Zerstörer noch als Truppentransporter zwischen Europa und Kanada. Am 11. Oktober 1945 wurde der Zerstörer außer Dienst gestellt. Nach kurzer Nutzung als stationäres Schulschiff wurde das Schiff im Dezember 1947 zum Abbruch verkauft. Dieser erfolgte ab 1948 in Sydney (Nova Scotia). (de)

The ship was sent to Gibraltar in mid-1940 and formed part of Force H where she participated in the attack on Mers-el-Kébir. Foxhound escorted the aircraft carriers of Force H as they flew off aircraft for Malta and covered convoys resupplying and reinforcing the island until late 1941. During this time the ship helped to sink another German submarine. In December, she was briefly transferred to the Mediterranean Fleet where she escorted several convoys to Malta from the Eastern Mediterranean. Foxhound was transferred to the Eastern Fleet in early 1942 and was then assigned to convoy escort duties off South Africa and then in West Africa until mid-1943 when she was converted into an escort destroyer. When the conversion was completed in early 1944, the ship was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy and renamed HMCS Qu'Appelle. She was assigned escort duties in the Western Approaches for several months before the ship was transferred to the English Channel to protect convoys during the Normandy landings. Qu'Appelle engaged German surface ships several times before she was sent to Iceland for more convoy escort work in October. The ship received a lengthy refit in Canada at the end of the year that was not completed until mid-1945. Qu'Appelle then ferried Canadian troops back to Canada for several months before she became a training ship. She was placed in reserve in mid-1946 and was sold for scrap at the end of 1947. (en)
