HMCS Kenogami (K125)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMCS Kenogami (K125) was a Flower-class corvette that served in the Royal Navy during World War II.
Kenogami was laid down by Port Arthur Shipbuilding Co. of Port Arthur, Ontario, on 20 April 1940; launched on 5 September 1940; and commissioned on 29 June 1941.
On 12 April 1941, Kenogami and HMS Azalea fired a shot over the bow of the U.S.-flagged American Export liner Siboney 320 nautical miles (590 km) out of Lisbon. After crew aboard Azalea questioned Wenzel Habel, the captain of the unarmed passenger liner, Siboney was allowed to go on her way.[1]
Kenogami was paid off on 9 July 1945 and scrapped in January 1950 in Canada.
