Built by Defoe Boat & Engine Works, Bay City, Mich. in 1930 as Xama II. She was acquired by the RCN and named WILD DUCK (HC69). She left Halifax on 30 May 1940, for conversion and arming at Quebec City. Commissioned at Halifax on 23 Jul 1940 as HMCS HUSKY, she was assigned to Sydney Force for A/S patrol duty. She was transferred in Dec 1940 to Trinidad, but returned to join Saint John, N.B. Force on 24 Sep 1941. A year late she returned to Halifax Local Defence Force for a few months before being reassigned in Mar 1943, to training duties at HMCS Cornwallis (the located at Halifax). She moved with the establishment to Digby, and for the remainder of the war exercised with RN submarines in the Bay of Fundy. Paid off to reserve at Sydney on 03 Aug 1945, she was sold into mercantile service in 1946. After a term as the inspection vessel Good Neighbor for the Port of New Orleans, she was sold in 1968 for use as a sport-diving tender in Honduran waters but has since returned to New Orleans to become a floating restaurant.
