Could that be HMS Buxton ?

Commissioned in the Royal Navy 8 October 1940 as HMS Buxton, the overage destroyer served in Canadian waters briefly as the U-boat war intensified. She was then allocated to 6th Escort Group, Western Approaches Command, for dangerous and vital duty keeping the supply line open to Britain. In October 1943, when newer escorts were available, she was lent to the Royal Canadian Navy, and stationed at Digby, Nova Scotia, until the end of 1944.
