HMCS Iroquois's motto is "Relentless in Chase", HMCS Huron's Motto is "Ready the Brave", And HMCS Algonquin's is "A Coup Sur"
Here's the H.M.C.S. Iroquois as completed, in 1972, with a pair of RIM-7 Sea Sparrow on her launcher arms:

And here's the
H.M.C.S. Huron, in her near-to original appearance. Only a pair of OE-82 SatCom dishes have been installed, one atop the chart house; the other between the angled funnels. The Sea Sparrow boxes are here closed and in rest.
So, without further ado:
H.M.C.S. Huron as of 1986:

...and last, but not least, the H.M.C.S. Athabaskan as she was refitted in lieu of her Gulf War deployment in 1990/91. She has been fitted with one Phalanx Block 1 atop her Limbo well, which thereby has been rendered useless. On the other hand she was not dispatch to find and sink any Iraqi subs! Instead, her RIM-7 Sea Sparrow stand ready, menacingly to fire at any potential target that would threaten the hospital ships and other charges of hers:

seeing how the RCN Sea Sparrow system operated; any ideas on how effective tis system was? It seems to offer more capacity than the standard launcher, without the need to reload.
