The HMCS Preserver is a Protecteur class replenishment oiler that was used by the Canadian Navy in order to provide fuel, food and munitions to naval vessels at sea.

All hazardous materials, salvageable equipment and memorabilia were removed from the HMCS Preserver. The ship was dismantled, and the materials recycled.

Work on the HMCS Preserver began in March 2017 and was completed December 2017.
