SIOUX at Cowes, Isle of Wight, on 21 Feb 1944, and assigned to the
26th Flotilla of the British Home Fleet. She took part in escorting
carrier attacks against the TIRPITZ and against German shipping off
Norway, and on 28 May 1944 left Scapa for Portsmouth for D-Day duties,
bombarding shore targets on the Normandy coast. Returning to Scapa Flow in
Jul 1944, she resumed her previous occupation
and also escorted four convoys each way to and from Murmansk.

She
left the U.K. on 06 Apr 1945, for her first trip to Canada and,
upon arrival underwent a major refit at Halifax. In Nov 1945 SIOUX was transferred to Esquimalt, where she was paid off into reserve on
27 Feb 1946. After some modernization she was re-commissioned
in 1950, and did three tours of duty in Korean waters, from 1951 to
1955. Following her
Korean tours, she
returned to her training role.

In Nov/Dec 1959, during a 6-week deployment
that included a NATO Exercise, HMCS BONAVENTURE, in company with HMCS
ALGONQUIN, HMCS IROQUOIS, HMCS SIOUX and, HMCS ATHABASKAN encounter a
major storm that battered the squadron. During this deployment, while
alongside in Antwerp, HMCS SIOUX lost a crew member who fell overboard in
harbour and drowned.
Four
newspaper articles on the Nov/Dec 1959 deployment during which 5 RCN
sailors died.
On 30 Jul 1962, the RCN sent the
3rd Destroyer Escort Squadron (Atlantic) under Capt. Gordon Edwards, on a good
will / work up tour. The squadron consisted of HMCS SIOUX 225, HMCS Huron
216 and HMCS Iroquois 217 (as flagship). The ships sailed from Halifax NS to
Bermuda and then on to Jamaica, arriving on the 05 Aug 1962. The
squadron joined a large fleet of naval vessels already assembled, as all
Royal Navies and the United States Navy, had sent "good will"
ships of various classes to Jamaica. In essence, it served to form one of
the largest allied fleets to be assembled since WW II, and spent six days in
Jamaica celebrating their independence from Briton which occurred on the 06
Aug 1962. The squadron then sailed back to Bermuda before heading to Prince
Edward Island to par-take in their official Lobster Festival. From PEI the
squadron returned to Halifax for fuel and provisions, and again departed for
Bermuda. From Bermuda it was onto Trinidad & Tobago to take part in
their independence celebrations. From 12 Sep to 17 Sep 1962, the 3rd Destroyer
Escort Squadron paid a visit to Newfoundland to take part in the 67th
annual meeting of the National Council of the Navy League of
Canada.
SIOUX was paid off at
Halifax on 13 Oct 1963. She was broken up in 1965 at La Spezia,
Italy.
