HMCS Dunvegan was a Bangor-class minesweeper of the Royal Canadian Navy that served during World War II. Commissioned in 1942, the ship was primarily involved in escort duties, minesweeping operations, and anti-submarine patrols in the Atlantic Ocean. The vessel was named after Dunvegan, Alberta, and had a crew of around 83 members. Throughout its service, HMCS Dunvegan was involved in several notable incidents, including the rescue of survivors from a torpedoed merchant ship in 1944. The ship also participated in the invasion of Normandy on D-Day in June 1944, providing minesweeping and escort services for the Allied forces. After the war, HMCS Dunvegan was decommissioned in 1945 and subsequently sold for commercial use. The ship was later converted into a ferry and served in various capacities until it was scrapped in the 1960s. HMCS Dunvegan's wartime service and contributions are a part of the naval history of Canada and its involvement in the Allied efforts during World War II.
