The crew of the 1958-60 commission had a very unique and interesting trip up the St Lawrence Seaway for the official opening by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on June 26th of 1959. Forming close escort to the Royal Yacht, HMY Britannia, she was the only British warship to go so far inland and covered all of the Great Lakes paying visits to many ports both in Canada and the United States of America.

The Captain - Commander Cameron Rusby, claimed the "altitude" record for a Royal Navy warship in Lake Superior just prior to the visit to Fort William & Port Arthur (Now Thunderbay) at lakehead of Superior. Apart from this Royal Escort, "Ulster" performed escorts for H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh, H.E. The Governor General - West Indies and H.E. The Governor - British Honduras.
