Built at Montreal, Givenchy
was commissioned there on 22 Jun 1918. On 30 Jun 1918, Givenchy was
listed as a patrol vessel. She was paid off on 12 Aug 1919
at Esquimalt. She then entered the service of the Department of
Marine and Fisheries as a fishery protection vessel, but was
returned to the RCN on 15 Apr 1939. Though her principal function
was that of accommodation ship (notably to the Fishermen's Reserve),
she was actually in commission from 25 Jun 1940 to 07 Dec 1943 as accommodation
vessel, Fishermen's Reserve. Sold on 19 Sep 1946, Givenchy is thought to have been
broken up in the U.S. in 1953.
