HMCS Haida, Canada’s most famous warship, saw distinguished service with the Royal Canadian Navy in World War II, the Korean conflict and the Cold War. Decommissioned in 1963, she was designated as a national historic site in 1984 because of her role in naval combat and because she is the last of the Tribal class destroyers once used by three navies. THE VISION In 2020, HMCS Haida is managed and pre- sented as a living, operating ship. Visitors enjoy the unique opportunity to explore, discover, experience, and learn about the inner workings of and life aboard a World War II–era naval vessel.

Abolofia, Cohanim A promising new takes the reins win Hungate Awards remineralizing product Dear Fellow Alumni: As graduates of the University of Washington School of Dentistry, we should be proud of the outstanding education that we received. Our School continues to have an impressive reputation – currently ranked fourth in the United States and 14th in the world. However, the School faces many challenges. And to maintain its tradition of excellence, it urgently needs support from all of us. The UW Dental Alumni Association is always looking for ways to support and strengthen the School of Dentistry. In the summer of 2017, we began our Dental Alumni Class Challenge. The Class Challenge creates a Dental Alumni Endowed Faculty Fund for Excellence. All alumni are being asked to contribute to this permanent fund, which will provide faculty fellowships throughout the School, with an emphasis on supporting junior faculty. Funding for faculty is a particularly urgent need. In the last four years, the School has moved to a year-round curriculum to accelerate learning and provide more clinical experiences for students. This new curriculum helps keep our School on the cutting edge, but it creates tremendous strain for faculty in an environment of limited state funding and research support. In addition, budget cuts have placed even more pressure on our faculty. This is our association’s third Class Challenge.

  • NARVIK – Norwegian Eldorado for Wreck-Divers Wrecks of Narvik
    NARVIK – Norwegian Eldorado for wreck-divers Wrecks of Narvik Text by Erling Skjold (history and diving) and Frank Bang (diving) Underwater photography by Frank Bang Ship photography by Erling Skjolds, NSA collection Translation by Michael Symes Dieter von Roeder The port of Narvik in north Norway was established around the export of iron-ore from Sweden. This was due to the very good harbour and its ice-free con- ditions. At the outbreak of World War II, Narvik was a strategically important harbour, and during the first few days of the war a very intense battle was fought out here between German, Norwegian and British naval forces. During this fighting several ships were sunk, both warships and civil merchant ships. Narvik harbour was transformed into a great ship ceme- tery, with wrecks sticking up out of the water every- where. Several of the ships were later salvaged, but many wrecks still remained. With its high density of wrecks, Narvik is an eldorado for wreck divers.
