Surface Combatants Built Since WWII (R, DDE, DDH, FFH)

Most recent update: January 28, 2011.

Before and during WWII, all the Canadian Navy's large surface combatants were built either in Britain or the U.S.  Canadian shipyards started building destroyers only as WWII came to an end.  If anyone has any corrections or additions to this table, please send them to timcolton@aol.com
