HMCS d'Iberville is a Canadian Forces Naval Reserve Division (NRD) located in Rimouski, Quebec.
Dubbed a stone frigate, HMCS d'Iberville is a land-based naval establishment for part-time sailors as well as a local recruitment centre for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN).
It is one of 24 naval reserve divisions located in major cities across Canada.
[1][2] The name d'Iberville celebrates the name of Canadian sailor, explorer and founder of the French colony of La Louisiane, Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, who was born in Ville-Marie, New France.
Focused on increasing the presence of French Canadians, the first HMCS d'Iberville was in operation for nine years before being paid off in 1961.
