Named after the Battle of St. Julien, she was built by Polson Iron Works, in Toronto, Ontario, and was commissioned on 13 November 1917. Decommissioned in 1920, she was turned over to the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and like sister ships HMCS Messines, HMCS St. Eloi, and HMCS Vimy was converted to a lightship, eventually being designated Lightship No. 22. Sold in 1958, and renamed Centennial, she was still in existence as of 1978.
