I take it this is as she apeared in the 1980's?
No. This is as built. The Restigouche and some sisters were rebuilt with ASROC, and losing the 3"/50 gun mounting aft along with one Limbo ASW mortar.
Two of these served in the first Gulf war 1991 and lost their ASROC for two quadraple Harpoon launchers and Phalanx.
The most noticeable part of the conversion (apart from ASROC, that is) was a new mast much like the one the new DDH like HMCS Athabaskan .
