HMCS Husky was an armed yacht used for patrol and training purposes during World War II by the Royal Canadian Navy.

Ordered by Charles Fisher in 1930 from Defore Boat Company of Bay City, Michigan, the yacht was named Wild Duck.

[1] To augment the local sea defences of East Coast ports, the Royal Canadian Navy sought large, steel-hulled yachts to requisition.

Canada turned to its southern neighbour for suitable ships, finding several in the United States that met the navy's requirements.

[5] Alongside HMCS Elk, the two armed yachts were the only escorts for the convoys leaving the port due to a severe lack of capable ships.

[1] While alongside in Halifax, outboard of a Dutch training submarine, the destroyer HMCS Hamilton surged backwards erroneously and rammed between the two ships.

[7] The vessel was reassigned to Saint John and from March 1942 until October 1942, the armed yacht and HMCS Caribou were the only seaward defence for the port.

[7] In March 1943, Husky became a training ship in the Bay of Fundy, attached to HMCS Cornwallis, a role she remained in until the end of the war.

[1] Additionally, the armed yachts stationed at Cornwallis would escort the ferry Princess Helen on run between Saint John and Digby, Nova Scotia after the sinking of SS Caribou.

While in service as the city's inspection vessel, a number of celebrities visited the ship including Charles de Gaulle, and the King and Queen of Greece.
