The HMCS Bras D’Or was the pinnacle of over 100 years of hydrofoil development in Canada. Starting with Alexander Bell and ending with the Proteus, hydrofoils held the promise of faster travel over the waves.

It was designed to be an ASW hunter but by the time she was ready, the Navy was settled on using the now familiar Destroyer/Helicopter combos.0:00 Introduction0:29 Alexander Graham Bell and Casey Baldwin2:28 The R-100 Massawippi5:46 The R-103 Baddeck7:15 The Rx8:48 Anti-submarine warfare hydrofoil concept12:24 FHE-400 Bras D’Or17:23 Testing and refinement19:25 Cancellation20:18 Proteus20:45 Conclusion
