MARITIME ENGINEERING JOURNAL, JULY 1990 - Commodore's Corner The View from Washington By Commodore E. Lawder I was delighted to be asked to write the Commodore's Corner for this issue. The last time I had the honour was in 1985 when I was COSMAT in Maritime Command. In that last job I was very much in a "technical" position so there was some logic to appear on this august page. Other than having "grown up" as a MARE, you may ask what are my credentials now for this honour since I am the Canadian Forces Naval Attache (CFNA) in Washington.

  • 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.

That day, the National Flag was raised across Canada for the first time. Within the RCN it also meant something else.

    The Ships of Canada’s Navy 1910 --- 2010 Researched and Written by Capt. (N) (Ret’d) Michael Braham Illustrations from Ready Aye Ready Web Site Foreword This project started out as an effort to provide Canadian War Museum Volunteer Interpreters with some basic reference material on the guns used by the Royal Canadian Navy and the Maritime Forces of the Canadian Forces since 1910. It became clear after that initial product was circulated for comment that some contextual information was required pertaining to the ships and classes of ships that carried these weapons. As a result, it has grown into a two-volume “briefing note” with pride of place being given to the ships in this Research Paper. It will probably be eminently clear that I am not an historian, nor for that matter, one given to deep research. My ‘fish-head’ readers may also question the qualifications of a former ‘pusser’ to take on this task. However, this is intended only as a guide and hopefully one that will stimulate some more informed opinion that will allow it to be amended from time to time to improve its veracity. I have tried to list the ships (when they were one of a kind) or classes in rough chronological order. I have also been a bit selective and deliberately omitted some of the lesser combatant ships which may stir some controversy that I will be pleased to right by adding any others that readers think should be included. Among the omissions are submarines which are left out since Canadian submarines did not participate in the major wars of the period covered and are not mentioned in the War Museum displays.
