  • The Silent Service Understanding the Covert World of Canadian Submarine Operations During the Cold War
    The Silent Service Understanding the Covert World of Canadian Submarine Operations During the Cold War. Quinn Leitch: V00485756 History 394: Veterans and Oral History Submitted to: Dr. David Zimmerman Submitted on: December 1, 2008 The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States along with their respective alliances, the Warsaw Pact and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, during the 1950s onwards was a serious matter at sea. During this timeframe, the Soviet Navy transitioned from a small coastal defence force into a large, general-purpose, ocean-going navy which was second only to the United States Navy in range of activities and apparent power. 1 This became a serious threat to Canada, an important NATO ally, for two reasons. Firstly, Soviet naval presence began to increase in the Pacific Ocean which, subsequently, led to increased Soviet naval activity such as long-range patrols by ballistic-missile submarines, attack submarines and intelligence gathering ships off Canada’s West Coast. 2 Secondly, Canada’s Arctic Islands could serve as alternate routes for Soviet submarines heading north or south between the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic. 3 Due to the surmounting threats of the Soviet Union, the Canadian Submarine Service re-emerged as a strategic and tactical asset for the Royal Canadian Navy that would reinforce Canada’s sovereignty and her commitment to NATO. Furthermore, the thorough and intense training received by Canadian submariners translated into repeated successes in clandestine operations, whether training exercises or covert operations, at sea. To fully understand this covert world, the utilization of Oral History is paramount since documentation of clandestine aspects of the Canadian Submarine Service is extremely limited; therefore, this paper will draw upon the interviews of three well distinguished Canadian Submarine Commanders: Captain Wilfred Lund, Commander Lloyd Barnes, and Commander Maurice Tate.

  • Dolphin Code
    In the mid-1970s Canada’s Oberon class sub marines were spending a lot of time at sea which, for submariners, usually means time on their hands while those on the surface and or the air are looking for them. Even the denizens of a wardroom can become a handful when they’ve got time on their hands and the fine gentlemen tucking in to their dinners in the wardroom of the HMCS Okanagan were not ex- ceptions. That is especially true when their leader was not only impish by nature, but absolutely de- lighted in the behavior. Well over forty years later, he still is and does. Then Lcdr Keith Nesbit and his band of merry men set about creating a submarine version of the ‘Falcon Code’ that was, as far as we can tell today, developed and used by the US Naval Air Service before spreading throughout the USAF. The Okanagan wardroom spent several months in the spring of 1976 creating and refining what in the end, they dubbed it ‘The Dolphin Code’ Keith says they originally thought they were doing it mostly for their own entertain- ment and to this day he is astonished with the way that the thing spread. He told me re- cently that he had been asked “if I minded if they worked on ‘Nuc Boatizing’ it”. While the Canadian version of the Code has basically stayed as written with eighty primary entries, the Australians have added nearly a hundred more in the late 1990s. When a print version of the Dolphin Code was published in the 1990s, Keith Nesbit wrote a foreward, as follows: FOREWARD Advertised internationally as The First Canadian Submarine Squadron’s (In)Famous Dolphin Code ▪ a souvenir of association with Travellers In Tubular Steel Who Did It Better, this code originated in HMCS Okanagan in July 1976.

In both indexes, the subject or author (given in bold print) is followed by the title of the article; then (in bold again) the issue and page number, separated by a dash. For example, 1-10 is Issue 1, page 10; 85-12 is issue 85, page 12; and so on. See the table on pages 2 & 3 for the dates of each SubCommittee Report issue number. This is just a general index in that only article titles and authors are referenced. A normal index would include all references to particular subjects found within articles; that is not the case here. For example, just about any article written on building a model submarine will include a detailed description of the approach taken to constructing the hull or ballast tank, but the subject headings “Hull/Hull Layout” and “Ballast System/Tanks” only list articles that are specifically about those subjects; more, of course, will be found in articles and columns under other subject headings, which include the names of specific submarines and vendors. When there is overlap among topics in an article, it may be listed under more than one subject heading.

  • Submarines and Peacekeeping
    Spring 2000 Submarines and Peacekeeping Paul Mitchell Canadian Forces College Introduction Submarines[1] are not generally regarded as peacekeepers, given their long and forbidding history.[2] There has always been a certain furtive air to submarine operations, encouraged by the unrestricted policies of all the powers during World War II.[3] This is further influenced by their stealthy nature. Often painted black, these foreboding vessels project an air of menace even if they are simply sitting in harbour. This image is often instigated by their own crews; upon returning from its famous patrol in the Falklands, the crew of HMS Conqueror sailed into port flying a jolly roger, reviving an old war time custom. Combat between these vessels is commonly referred to as a "knife fight", and the cloak of secrecy that surrounds all their operations adds to their aura of mystery. Even if the utility of submarines in peacekeeping operations is not immediately apparent, they are, nonetheless, critical factors in the planning of peacekeeping operations. Currently, there are more than 600 submarines around the world operated by 46 different countries (see Table One).[4] Over half of these are found in navies outside the United States and Russia. While many of them are in a run-down state, a growing number of these submarines are increasingly modern.[5] Many are found in highly strategic waters, crisscrossed by important sea lanes and areas of important marine resources. In short, submarines represent a growth industry in naval weapons. As such, they occupy an important niche in maritime operational planning. This article examines the role of submarines in multinational peacekeeping operations from two different perspectives.

  • Our Submarine Service: Cross Connect Open to the Allied System
    The Submarine Service: Cross-Connect Open to the Allied System Laurence Hickey Tout au long de son existence centenaire, le service sous-marin canadien a nourri des liens, nombreux et divers, avec d’autres marines, celles du Royaume-Uni et des États-Unis figurant en particulier. Ces liens ont tendance à se diviser en trois grandes catégories: la formation, les échanges de personnel, et les échanges de plans opérationnels. La nature de ces relations ont changé au fil des années tant que la provenance des coques individuelles et des types d’équipement et d’armes communs a abouti à la croissance et la décroissance d’influence entre les partenaires alliés. Cependant, l’utilisation prudente des réseaux pré-établis créés à travers des échanges outre-mer a permis la transition vers une nouvelle classe de sous- marin en dépit des obstacles techniques et de personnel. Cross-connect: Aboard conventional submarines, a valve that allows water compensating systems to be connected together when a major component of one system such as a pump or valve chest is inoperable or defective. Cross-connection permits achievement of the correct trim and ballast conditions when the integrity of the primary system is not intact. When the Naval Service of Canada was created a century ago, the government of the day considered, then rejected, including submarines in its modest proposal for a Canadian fleet. However, the advent of the First World War resulted in the 1914 acquisition of Canada’s first submarines and, for the first half the 100 years since, Canada operated this type of naval craft on an intermittent basis.
