  • 'A Little Light on What's Going On!'
    Volume VII, No. 69 ~ Winter 2014-2015 Starshell ‘A little light on what’s going on!’ CANADA IS A MARITIME NATION A maritime nation must take steps to protect and further its interests, both in home waters and with friends in distant waters. Canada therefore needs a robust and multipurpose Royal Canadian Navy. National Magazine of The Naval Association of Canada Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada www.navalassoc.ca On our cover… To date, the Royal Canadian Navy’s only purpose-built, ice-capable Arctic Patrol Vessel, HMCS Labrador, commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy July 8th, 1954, ‘poses’ in her frozen natural element, date unknown. She was a state-of-the- Starshell art diesel electric icebreaker similar in design to the US Coast Guard’s Wind-class ISSN-1191-1166 icebreakers, however, was modified to include a suite of scientific instruments so it could serve as an exploration vessel rather than a warship like the American Coast National magazine of The Naval Association of Canada Guard vessels. She was the first ship to circumnavigate North America when, in Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada 1954, she transited the Northwest Passage and returned to Halifax through the Panama Canal. When DND decided to reduce spending by cancelling the Arctic patrols, Labrador was transferred to the Department of Transport becoming the www.navalassoc.ca CGSS Labrador until being paid off and sold for scrap in 1987.

  • The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence
    Remembrance Series The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Photographs courtesy of Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and the Department of National Defence (DND). © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada represented by the Minister of Veterans Affairs, 2005. 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.

  • A HISTORY of GARRISON CALGARY and the MILITARY MUSEUMS of CALGARY
    A HISTORY OF GARRISON CALGARY and The MILITARY MUSEUMS of CALGARY by Terry Thompson 1932-2016 Terry joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1951, where he served primarily as a pilot. Following retirement in 1981 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he worked for Westin Hotels, the CBC for the 1984 Papal visit, EXPO 86, the 1988 Winter Olympic Games and the 1990 Goodwill Games. Following these busy years, he worked in real estate and volunteered with the Naval Museum of Alberta. Terry is the author of 'Warriors and the Battle Within'. CHAPTER EIGHT THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY In 2010, the Royal Canadian Navy celebrated its 100th anniversary. Since 1910, men and women in Canada's navy have served with distinction in two World Wars, the Korean conflict, the Gulf Wars, Afghanistan and Libyan war and numerous peace keeping operations since the 1960s. Prior to the 20th Century, the dominions of the British Empire enjoyed naval protection from the Royal Navy, the world's finest sea power. Canadians devoted to the service of their country served with the RN from England to India, and Canada to Australia. British ships patrolled the oceans, protecting commerce and the interests of the British Empire around the globe. In the early 1900s, however, Germany was threatening Great Britain's dominance of the seas, and with the First World War brewing, the ships of the Royal Navy would be required closer to home. The dominions of Great Britain were now being given the option of either providing funding or manpower to the Royal Navy, or forming a naval force of their own.

  • HMCS Prince Henry (Ex-North Star) Escapes the St Lawrence Before Freeze-Up 1940
    CHAPTER 8 HMCS Prince Henry (ex-North Star) escapes the St Lawrence before freeze-up 1940 CLARKE SHIPS GO TO WAR - AND WAR COMES TO THE ST LAWRENCE On Friday, September 1, 1939, the North Star, was in the middle of her final cruise of the summer, from New York to Montreal, at Bonne Bay, Newfoundland. The New Northland, on her sixth cruise of the season, was in the "Kingdom of the Saguenay." Both are places of great beauty. Passengers looked forward to a calm and peaceful day, but the news from Europe was anything but that. Germany had just invaded Poland. Two days later, on Sunday, September 3, with Germany having ignored a deadline set by the United Kingdom and France to withdraw from Poland, the world would be at war. On the day that war was declared, Donaldson Line's Athenia was a day out from Liverpool, en route from Glasgow to Montreal by way of the Strait of Belle Isle. But she would never reach Canada. Instead, she was torpedoed by the German submarine U-30, whose captain supposedly mistook her for a warship. Some 118 lives were lost in this, the first Allied merchant ship loss of the war. Luckily, conditions allowed 1,300 survivors to be rescued by two cargo ships, one American and one Norwegian, the Swedish yacht Southern Cross and the British destroyers HMS Electra, Escort and Fame. The 5,749- ton Knute Nelson landed 449 survivors at Galway Bay in Ireland, while the Southern Cross rescued 376 and transferred 236 of them to the 4,963-ton City of Flint, which took them on to Halifax.
