I know that it isn't about the book, but I have come across a nice read, about a Canadian DD, named after the city where I currently live, the H.M.C.S. (Her Majesty's Canadian Ship) Ville de Québec. This was the first one to be named Ville de Québec. Now, the HMCS Ville de Québec is a Halifax-class frigate within the Canadian Forces naval branch.
