		NNSL (June 11/97) - HMCS Yellowknife joined the navy at the Halifax Dockyard June 5 with the Stadacona brass band playing and a cold north wind snapping flags to attention as dignitaries from the NWT and the armed forces officially named Canada's newest maritime coastal defence vessel.
		The gold coin placed aboard during the laying of the keel is homage to Yellowknife's mining tradition brought good fortune as the vessel rode comfortably intact upon the waves.
		HMCS Yellowknife is lucky number 7 in a series of 12 ships designed to provide surveillance and control of Canada's coastal waters.

		The corvette HMCS Charlottetown was commissioned in December 1941 and assigned to the Western Local Escort Force.
		And always there was the knife-edge suspense: at any moment, the sighted periscope, the wail of action stations, the white wake of a torpedo across the bow, the fireball and blast of an exploding tanker, the distant cries of survivors in an oil-slicked, burning sea.

		The multi tiered structure of HMCS which means that issues that used to be resolved locally now have to go into the list of priorities.
		This may appear to be a better use of public money in that it is scrutinised, but when a bloke down the road with a spanner could pop in and fix the problem at a fraction of the cost, one has to wonder at the wisdom of centralised funding.
		Trafford MBC, HMCS and others have been really helpful and all of us want it to be a day we all remember, apart from Kate Hughes our organiser, who will probably be grateful to see the back of it.

	HMCS Sackville: 1941-2000
		Out of 269 Flower Class Corvettes built in Britain and Canada between 1940 and 1945 only one survives today – HMCS Sackville – and her survival is more the result of good fortune, rather than good planning.
		On the afternoon of 20 September 1943 HMCS St Croix was sunk by U-305, however there was no ship immediately available to rescue the survivors, so over 100 men spent the night in open boats until they could be picked up in the morning.
		Now, however, they were a dime a dozen and one 'damaged' escort wasn't going to alter the balance, and she may have been scrapped then and there.

	Feature - Cutting Time
		The challenge this presents to an HMC operator is that he must set up jobs in advance of the shift change.
		And the fact that the spindle doesn't have to be stopped to change over the job makes the horizontal on average 20 percent more efficient than the vertical running the same job, even when the VMC changeover process is really efficient," he says.
		Primarily because the HMCs are being set up the same time they are machining parts, Machine Products finds they are better used for rush jobs and long runs because there is no downtime during changeover.
