HMCS Chaleur (MCB 164)

HMCS Chaleur (hull number MCB 164) was a Bay-class minesweeper that served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Cold War.

The Bay class were designed and ordered as replacements for the Second World War-era minesweepers that the Royal Canadian Navy operated at the time.

[2][a] The Bay-class minesweepers were powered by two GM 12-cylinder diesel engines driving two shafts creating 2,400 brake horsepower (1,800 kW).

[2] After commissioning, the minesweeper was transferred to the West Coast of Canada and joined Training Group Pacific.

Initially the hull was only to stay at the marina for a week before being taken to a marine salvage yard within the bay for dismantling.
