Does anyone know the where abouts and status of Canadian destroyers HMCS Terra Nova, Annapolis & Gatineau. They were all decommissioned back in the late 1990s. All their sister ships have been scrapped or sunk as diving reefs off the West & East coasts of Canada. They were all steam turbine driven ships. HMCS Annapolis had a hangar that could carry two SeaKing helicopters.

According to http://www.hazegray.org/navhist/canada/postwar/
ANNAPOLIS was laid up at Esquimalt in 1998, TERRA NOVA and GATINEAU are laid up in Halifax Harbour (2005).
After being paid off, TERRA NOVA was used in the movie “K-19 – The Widowmaker” starring as a USN destroyer.
