HMCS Chilliwack.

Both photos are from the Macpherson Collection of the Naval Museum of Alberta.

HMCS Chilliwack on the West Coast after launch (1940). She still has no secondary armament in the aft bandstand and no splinter mats around the bridge. You can also see two masts with the foremast and mainmast.

HMCS Chilliwack on the East Coast some time in 1942 with only a single mast and although harder to see, she has much wider bridge to accommodate machine guns (this photo is before December 1942 when she was fitted with a 271 Radar in a lantern aft of the bridge in Londonderry).
