The '''HMCS Terra Nova (DDE 229)''' is a member of the Restigouche-class destroyer family. She was a member of the Canadian Navy from 1959 to 1997. The HMCS Terra Nova was the sixth ship in her class and the first Canadian warship to bear the name. The ship's badge honours the Terra Nova River in Newfoundland as well as an earlier civilian ship, Terra Nova, which rose to prominence during a scientific expedition to Antarctica. On the ship's badge, they are depicted as a river and the Antarctic (represented by a penguin). The HMCS Terra Nova was decommissioned on July 11, 1997, and paid off on July 1, 1998. In October 2009, she and the HMCS Gatineau were sold to Aecon Fabco for scrapping. In mid-November 2009, they were towed to Pictou, Nova Scotia, for dismantling.

Introduced in [[Update "Sky Guardians"]], the HMCS Terra Nova is a fast and manoeuvrable vessel for her size. It is strongly advised to use her close to the coast to engage enemy fast coastal vessels while using cover to avoid enemy destroyers. The main armament has an extremely fast firing rate, making it extremely effective at destroying enemy vessels from a long distance. Players can also engage enemy aircraft with the main armament. The ammunition magazine, like most other vessels in her class, is located directly below the main armament, making her vulnerable to detonation from a well-placed shot. As a result, it is recommended that players find a location on the battlefield where they can see other enemy vessels but have difficulty firing back.

Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.

Additional armament

Setup 1102 x Limbo mortar
Main article: Limbo mortar

Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.

Usage in battles

Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
