The Royal Canadian Navy Korean War Memorial was unveiled on 25 June 2000 by the Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta Lois Hole and the Chief of the Maritime Staff Vice Admiral Greg Maddison. It was dedicated to 3,600 sailors who served in the Korean War and in memory of the nine sailors who lost their lives.

Three men died when HMCS Iroquois was fired on and the others perished in accidents at sea. Able Seaman Robin Skavberg of Calgary was swept overboard at night during a snow squall off the Korean coast on 27 November 1951. The crew turned on all of HMCS Athabaskan's searchlights in their search for Robin even though it made them a target for the gun batteries on the Korean Coast. They couldn't find him. Fred Fowlow, who served on the Athabaskan with Robin, spent four years helping raise money for the memorial. Fred and Robin's family were at the unveiling.

The memorial was designed by Authentic Design and erected by the Naval Museum of Alberta Society and the Calgary naval community at 1820-24 Street SW, the HMCS Tecumseh base. In 2008 the memorial was moved to The Military Museums because the Naval Museum of Alberta had relocated to that site. Padre Don McMahon led a rededication ceremony with an honour guard of Calgary Naval Veterans of the Korean War.
