Daybreak, Gulf of Korea
Painted by Edward (Ted) Zuber in 1978The Korean War (1950-1953) exemplified the value of naval power in a period of uneasy global peace.
The unexpected conflict led to the initial deployment of three Canadian warships and a squadron of transport aircraft, the vanguard of what would become a lengthy commitment with a large ground force element. In this work, Korean War veteran Ted Zuber depicts a Canadian destroyer, firing at shore targets.
