    Winter 2019 Rear Admiral Desmond William Piers, CM DSC CD Patron-in-Chief - - Mrs. Anne Baker FROM THE BRIDGE First of all I hope all shipmate’s and families had a joyous Christmas and New Year. We have just started our new year with the election of a new executive. I would like to thank all of you for the vote of confidence in me to be your President. I’m not perfect, but with your help and with the executive, we will endeavor to do the best job we can. My phone will always be accessible, if you see any problems, or have any suggestions, please let me know, nothing gets achieved if you keep it to yourself. Lets try to bring the club back to where it was when I joined. Talk to friends and former mates, let’s try to sign them up, as we are losing so many members. Reach out to members that haven’t been here for awhile and get the membership back on track. I would also like to thank outgoing President S/M Ivan Foote and his executive. They did an excellent job. As in any new position, it will be a learning experience, so please be patient. There are always new challenges to consider. I am familiar with most of our issues, but I’m sure there will be questions on a few, but just remember that we were all Ordinary Seamen at one time so please bear with me. One of our biggest challenges is to get new, young members, let’s work hard as an organization to resolve this.

  • Assets and Platforms
    Naval Affairs Program Briefing Note # 10 ASSETS AND PLATFORMS The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) is a medium-sized navy, with the ability to conduct operations around the world – normally with partners and allies. If you have read the other Briefing Notes from this series, you’ll have seen that the RCN plays (or can play) a number of roles in Canadian security, from fishery patrols to war-fighting. This Briefing Note looks at the ships, and other assets, that the RCN has to play these roles. Halifax-Class Frigates Canada has 12 Halifax-class patrol frigates, considered the backbone of the Royal Canadian Navy. The ships were planned in the 1980s and built in the 1990s (See Briefing Note about the frigates for more details). They were originally designed for anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare in the open ocean, however they are now used by the navy for a wide variety of tasks. These tasks include deterring unfriendly military forces or hostile actors from using Canadian waters, operating internationally with allies to conduct exercises and operations (for example, counter-piracy, counter-drug, counter-terrorism operations have all been undertaken by the frigates in recent years), helping the Canadian Coast Guard monitor domestic fisheries, and conducting sovereignty patrols. Halifax-class HMCS Halifax HMCS Calgary HMCS Vancouver HMCS Fredericton HMCS Ville de Québec HMCS Winnipeg HMCS Toronto HMCS St. John's HMCS Regina HMCS Charlottetown HMCS Montréal HMCS Ottawa Victoria-Class Submarines The RCN’s submarine fleet is made up of four Victoria-class diesel-electric boats. (Note that submarines are not referred to as ships but rather as boats.) These submarines were purchased from Great Britain in 1998 and have undergone significant upgrades and retrofitting.

    Summer 2019 Rear Admiral Desmond William Piers, CM DSC CD Patron-in-Chief - - Mrs. Anne Baker FROM THE BRIDGE Hello Shipmates; I hope you are enjoying this fine, hot summer. Preparations are underway for our summer BBQ which is being organized by our Padre / Entertainment Chairman S/M Westgate. There will be more to follow on this in the form of e-mails sent by our Secretary. The MARC Center is the location for this year. All of our main activities, Battle of the Atlantic Dinner and Parade went well. I’m a little concerned as our numbers are dwindling, and of course no new new members seem to be joining. We have lost another Shipmate, Edwin Toombs, and also our friend Eileen Baker (Bagsy Baker widow). We will miss them. Vets bingo will resume in September, and as always volunteers are required. We also held our annual Canada Day BBQ for the vets on June 30, all went well, great effort from those who participated and was well appreiciated by both Vets, Families, and staff. Finally, I would like to Thank S/M Ronald Lepage who is now looking after the artifacts that were stored at Steve Daubs residence, (for those that don’t know Steve resigned his membership and has been removed from out list). Ronald AKA “Stickey” is to be commended on his efforts to maintain our historical artifacts. I wish all Shipmates smooth sailing and following seas. S/M Ivan Foote President HONORARY PRESIDENT Rear-Admiral Craig Baines, MSC, CD Rear-Admiral Craig Baines enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces Regular Officer Training Program in 1987.
