<HTML>Haida's achievement were mostly in cooperation with other units of her flotilla:
- 26/4/44 with Athabaskan, Huron, HMS Ashanti & Black Prince, engaged KM TBs T.24, 27 & 29 off Ouessant, sinking T.29
- 29/4/44 with Athabaskan engaged T.24 & T.27, when Athabaskan was sunk (possibly by Haida herself, there is evidence to that effect - not the only case of "friendly fire" in recorded history), then Haida sank T.27
- 24/6/44 with HMS Eskimo & a/c sank U-971 off Land's End
- Night of 14-17/7/44 with ORP Blyskawica & HMS Tartar sank Uj.1420 & Uj.1421 off Ile de Groix, near Lorient
- 6/8/44 with Iroquois, HM CL Bellona, DDs Ashanti, Tartar, attacked a covoy in Biscay, N of Ile d'Yeu, sinking MSOs M.263, M.486, XPC V.414 and ML Otto.
That is as much as I gathered to this point, there may be more of which I am not aware yet,
