HMCS Sackville was built in Saint John, New Brunswick and named after the Town of Sackville, NB. She was part of a large ship-building programme to respond to the threat posed by German U-boats in the North Atlantic, and was commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy in December 1941. HMCS Sackville is the last of Canada’s 123 wartime corvettes that played a major role in the Allies winning the pivotal Battle of the Atlantic (1939-1945). HMCS Sackville, her sister corvettes and other ships of the rapidly expanded Royal Canadian Navy, operating out of Halifax, St John’s and other East Coast ports, were front and centre during the lengthy war at sea. HMCS Sackville’s most memorable encounter occurred in August 1942 when she engaged three U-boats in a 24-hour period while escorting a convoy that was attacked near the Grand Banks. She put two of the U-boats out of action before they were able to escape. A year later, when another convoy was attacked by U-boats, HMCS Sackville engaged one U-boat with depth charges; however several merchant vessels and four naval escorts – including HMCS St. Croix - were torpedoed and sunk with heavy loss of life.

  • Once Beleaguered Canadian Submarines Now a Potent International Force
    Once beleaguered Canadian submarines now a potent international force They run silent and they run deep. But, the problem with Canadian submarines being largely out-of-sight, out-of-mind and overshadowed by the army in Afghanistan is that Canadians can’t connect with the notion that Canada’s submarines have emerged as a potent force on the international stage. Unfortunately, to date, the biggest news story involving Canada’s four diesel-electric Victoria Class submarines – taken over from the United Kingdom in a 1998 eight-year lease-to-buy agreement – was the October 2004 fire aboard HMCS Chicoutimi while in transit from Britain, killing one Canadian submariner and injuring nine others. There is good reason why the lethal fire received the negative news coverage: a fire is one of the absolute worst things that could ever happen aboard a submarine and it did. But, coupled with the mostly-unfair criticism they received for being acquired second-hand from the British who launched them between 1990 and 1992, many likened them to used-car lemons. The British mothballed them in 1994 and 1995 in favor of nuclear submarines and there were numerous technical problems bringing them back into service for the transit between Britain and Canada, let alone their retrofitting for Mark-48 torpedoes and Canadian communications and sonar equipment. But, seeing HMCS Victoria, formerly HMS Unseen, in dry dock in Esquimalt, B.C., while it was in retrofit in May 2004 was a little overwhelming for this prairie resident who had only seen diagrams and pictures of them. No one picture captures the breath-taking size of the nearly seven-storey tall Leviathans, let alone their three-quarters-the-size-of-a-football-field length.

  • PUBLICATIONS SPP Research Paper
    PUBLICATIONS SPP Research Paper Volume 10:22 September 2017 2016 STATUS REPORT ON MAJOR EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT David G. Perry SUMMARY The Department of National Defence made some progress in procurement in 2016 despite obstacles that included a continued drop in spending, the advent of a new federal Liberal government and uncertainty over the outcome of the Defence Policy Review. Four trends affected defence acquisitions in 2016. These include an ongoing slippage in recapitalizing the Canadian Armed Forces, some encouraging moves made on the shipbuilding and fighter jet files, mixed progress on implementing the 2014 Defence Procurement Strategy, and uncertainty over the Defence Policy Review. It is also too early to tell how the Trudeau government’s Policy on Results, known as the “deliverology” approach, will play out for defence procurement. However, Budget 2016’s major focus was not on defence, and it shifted some funding for capital equipment to a new endpoint of 2045. This suggests that delay in the overall defence procurement program continues. While the Liberals kept their pledge to make investment in the Royal Canadian Navy a priority, they also made good last year on a negative promise – not to purchase the F-35 stealth fighter bomber. However, further slowing things is the Liberals’ refusal to launch a competition to replace it until the Defence Policy Review is published. The government has made this situation more fraught with its intention to buy 18 Boeing Super Hornet fighter jets as interim aircraft, since Liberal policy requires the Royal Canadian Air Force to be capable of meeting both NORAD’s and NATO’s operational needs simultaneously.
