There is no record of how many Canadian warships were built with steel from Hamilton. After the war, however, thirty-three corvettes are known to have come to Hamilton to be scrapped, making Hamilton possibly the largest single graveyard for Canadian warships.

The June 1949 issue of the navy’s magazine, The Crownsnest, carried a story entitled THE FLEET IN WHICH WE SERVED: Visit to Corvettes Bound for Scrap Heap Brings Back Memories. http://readyayeready.com/crowsnest/issue.php?year=49&month=06
It relates the story of a visit by STAR officers to STELCO to inspect corvettes awaiting scrapping for anything useful for training. The corvettes there at this point were:
BUCTOUCHE, CALGARY, KENOGAMI, KITCHENER, LA MALBAIE, MATAPEDIA, ORILLIA, PRESCOTT, RIMOUSKI, THE PAS and TRAIL.
