I’m looking for images of the unique 4 round Canadian Sea Sparrow, seen here behind the 127mm mount:

Specifically I’m after images of the loaded mount and possibly how its reloaded.

Hi,
Are future Canadian upgrades to include the ESSM?:confused:
considering that one (or two already?) of the Tribals have been stricken and that the government just recently announced to mid-life upgrade the Halifax class frigates I highly doubt that the remaining Tribals will see any upgrade at all for their short remaining service life.
BTW: I did some Tribal drawings a while back, don´t wanna steel the thread though. If anyone is interested, please take a look:

It’s sad there are mostly post-TRUMP images available: they were gorgeous ships from the start.

Thanks!
Exactly what I wanted.

You owe me.
From: http://macsnavylinks.ca/maccdale/index.html
In their pre-TRUMP (Tribal Class Update and Modernization Program) configuration, the Iroquois class destroyers carried two four-round Sea Sparrow launchers for point anti-aircraft defense. The missile batteries were located on the interior of the ship on either side of the superstructure, requiring some time for them to unlimber for firing. Two quadruple Sea Sparrow launchers came out the side of the forward housing structure on a horizontal arm.
