Editing HMCS Haida (section)

==Design and description==
The Tribals were designed to fight heavily armed destroyers of other navies, such as the Japanese {{sclass|Fubuki|destroyer|4}}.<ref name=chesneau>Chesneau, p. 40</ref> Canada chose the design based on its armament, with the size and power of the Tribal class allowing them to act more like small cruisers than as fleet destroyers.<ref>Tucker, p. 26</ref> ''Haida'' was among the first batch of Tribal-class destroyers ordered by the RCN in 1940–1941. They were ordered with modified ventilation and heating systems for [[North Atlantic]] winter service. ''Haida''{{'}}s design was modified after deficiencies were noted in the lead ship of the Canadian Tribals, {{HMCS|Iroquois|G89|6}}.

''Haida'', as one of the British-built Tribal-class destroyers, was {{convert|335|ft|6|in|m}} [[Length between perpendiculars|long between perpendiculars]] and {{convert|377|ft|m}} [[Length overall|long overall]] with a [[Beam (nautical)|beam]] of {{convert|36|ft|6|in|m}} and a [[Draft (hull)|draught]] of {{convert|13|ft|m}}. As built, the destroyer [[Displacement (ship)|displaced]] {{convert|1927|LT|t}} standard and {{convert|2745|LT|t}} at deep load.<ref name=chesneau/><ref name=mac59>Macpherson and Barrie, p. 59</ref> ''Haida'' had a complement of 14 officers and 245 ratings.<ref name=mac59/>

The destroyer was propelled by two [[Propeller|shafts]] driven by two [[Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company|Parsons]] [[Steam turbine|geared turbines]] powered by steam created by three [[Three-drum boiler#Admiralty boiler|Admiralty-type three-drum boilers]]. This created {{convert|44000|shp|lk=in}} and gave the ship a maximum speed of {{convert|36.5|kn|lk=in}}. The destroyers could carry {{convert|505|-|516|LT|t}} of fuel oil.<ref name=chesneau/>

As built, ''Haida'' was fitted with six [[Quick-firing gun|quick-firing]] [[4.7 inch QF Mark IX & XII|{{convert|4.7|in|mm|adj=on|0}} Mk XII]] guns placed in three twin [[Gun turret|turrets]], designated 'A', 'B' and 'Y' from bow to stern.<ref group=note>Mark XII = Mark 12. Britain used [[Roman numeral]]s to denote Marks (models) of ordnance until after World War II.</ref> The turrets were placed on 40° mountings with open-backed shields.<ref name=chesneau/> The ship also had one twin turret of [[QF 4 inch Mk XVI naval gun|QF {{convert|4|in|mm|adj=on|0}} Mk XVI guns]] in the 'X' position.<ref name=chesneau/><ref name=mac59/> For secondary [[anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft]] armament, the destroyer was equipped with four single-mounted [[QF 2-pounder naval gun|2-pounder "pom-pom" guns]]. The vessel was also fitted with four {{convert|21|in|mm|adj=on|0}} [[torpedo tube]]s for Mk IX torpedoes.<ref name=chesneau/>
