Cat. No. V32-84/2005 ISBN 0-662-69036-2 Printed in Canada The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including on-line learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits.

  • Royal Canadian Navy Aircraft Carrier Her Majesty’S Canadian Ship Bonaventure – CVL 22 21 January 1957 – 3 July 1970
    Royal Canadian Navy Aircraft Carrier Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship Bonaventure – CVL 22 21 January 1957 – 3 July 1970 Introduction In April 1962, the Canadian Government approved the acquisition of an aircraft carrier to replace Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Magnificent (CVL 21), which had been on loan and was to be returned to the Royal Navy (RN). At the same time, a decision was taken to purchase and modernize an unfinished Second World War era aircraft carrier. The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) set up a negotiating team to deal with the British Government and the Royal Navy. The RN argued that the contract to purchase the new carrier required that HMCS Magnificent be brought up to the latest “alterations and additions” (A&As) for her class before her return to the RN. These alterations were to include, among other modifications, an angled and strengthened deck. The RCN’s case was that these were modernizations and not A&As. Furthermore, the carrier being offered for purchase was being bought “as is”, therefore the RN must accept the return of HMCS Magnificent in an “as is” state. The Royal Navy was won over to the Canadian’s point of view and the negotiations were soon completed. A new project office for the Principal Royal Canadian Navy Technical Representative was established at Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the partially completed Majestic class, Light Fleet aircraft carrier, the ex-Her Majesty’s Ship (HMS) Powerful (R 95) was laying. Specifications With a length overall of 215 meters (705 ft) and a beam at the water line of 24 meters (79 ft), HMS Powerful was only slightly larger than HMCS Magnificent.

  • Seasprite to Sea King: the Royal Canadian Navy's
    Seasprite to Sea King: The Royal Canadian Navy’s Ship-borne Antisubmarine Helicopter Capability ne of the better-known achievements of the post-war Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) is the Ointegration of the large Sikorsky Sea King antisubmarine helicopter into small surface escorts. Of this, “radical and entirely Canadian development,” Tony German writes that it was, “hugely admired” by other navies and that, “[a]fter eight years’ development Canada’s navy on its own brought a whole new dimension in anti-submarine [sic] warfare to the navies of the world,”1 yet the remainder of his publication, The Sea Is at Our Gates, pays little deference to this accomplishment.

Reynolds* “Monday 15 February marked a turning point in the history of the Royal Canadian Navy.” These were the words of Commander Maurice Turner, captain of the destroyer escort Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Saskatchewan.2 He wasn’t speaking of the creation of the Naval Service in 1910, or some great event of the Second World War, or the end of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) as a separate service within the Canadian military, but was referring instead to Proclamation Day—15 February 1965. That day, the National Flag was raised across Canada for the first time. Within the RCN it also meant something else. It meant the loss of other beloved symbols, borne by Canadian warships in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War—symbols under which Canadian sailors had fought, shed blood and, when necessary, INSIDE / SOMMAIRE Page died for King, country, and Editor’s Note / Note de la rédaction 2 one another.
