Track of HMCS Crusader, 1952-1953
Track of HMCS Crusader, 1952-1953

This hand-drawn map shows HMCS Crusader's movements during the destroyer's year-long deployment to Korean waters in 1952-1953.

The map shows ports of call in Japan (right), Okinawa (bottom centre), and Hong Kong (bottom left). The Korean peninsula (centre) is surrounded with labels indicating time spent attacking enemy trains ("Trainbusters' Club") and escorting aircraft carriers ("Windchasers' Club" and "Corpen Club"). During the Korean War, Canadian destroyers served in a variety of roles on both the east and west coasts of the Korean peninsula. Much of the time they did not operate together, but instead served in conjunction with other UN naval forces.
