The development of Opr-Csn- adisn Navy has been long and arduous. After the first World War there was only I smsll group of officci-s snd senionmen with enough experience to form I email training staff. In ION. a much sCdUC¢d budget. nearly destroyed the Navy. In 1030. the situation improved s little. New ships were bought snd the Navy slowly be- gun to regain its strength. In 1038, facilities were so limited that in- struction for officers and men could‘ only be had with the Royal Navy. Then came the" ‘Second World War. The Navy was ex- panded very rs-pi?’ during ‘.these few short years. ocks and duck- yards grew simost over-night. Af- ter the war the Canadian Navy returned to a .compsct peace- time size. and the Royal Canadian Navy now provides its own train- ing facilities in Canada.

Canada's fleet today consists of one aircraft carrier, two light cruisers, seven large tribal class destroyers, and four light cruis- ers. These ships are not all in commission at onc‘time. In ad- dition to these, there are s num- ber of frigate: snd mincsweepers in commission. which are used for specisl jobs or providing sum- mer training for members of the Reserve. The frigate l-l.M.C.S. "St. Stephen" is employed as a weather ship on "Station Baker", s point midway between Labrador and Greenland. Thk is one of the special jobs which the Royal Canadian Navy ships do.-

ln general the fleet is station- ed on the two coasts, st Halifax’

The Canadian Navy. at the be- ginning of World War II was very small. It consisted of only sixteen ships and seventeen hun- drcd and seventy-four men in uni- form. It advanced rapidly though, and in 1944 had reached the high level of seven hundred ships and eighty thousand men. To attain this number a tremendous amount of material was used.

three destroyers. On the Pacific Coast them are a cruiser, and three destroyers. The‘ remaining ships are ‘maintained in reserve and form the “Reserve Fleet." At least once a year. the East and West coast groups join forces ususlly in the Atlantic or Carib- bean, for fleet exercises along with units of the Royal Navy. The major factor in the fleet today is air power. The aircraft carrier I-l.M.Cs. “Magnificent" is manned for her flying operations by thsymembers of the Naval Air Branch. ‘This is a young branch of the Navy. but it is fast growing to be one of the strongest and most popular branches. There are five gsqusdrcns in the Air Branch which has H.M.CS. "Shear- _,wster". shore station st Dart- mouth. Nova Scotia, for its train- ing. manning and stores depot.

planes for scouting and bomhlng.

The fighting ships are chiefly used for escorting merchant ships and protecting them from at- tacks by enemy ships nad sub- marines.

During the war the merchant ships escorted by warships carried one hundred and eighty million tons of food, clothing and other much needed articles overseas. so that the Army and Air Force could keep on fighting.

Submarines were the chief dan- .ger to the ships. because during the war they sank much merchant shipping which was needed at the front to say nothing of lives.

The war leaders saw then. that if they were to win they must find some way to fight this dun- gerous enemy. Part of the ans- wer was depth-charges. ship- lnunched torpedoes, and also radar and asdic. The two former lnstruments were to fight the “subs", while radar and asdlc were used to detect them. Radar was for detecting “subs" on the sur- face but ssdlc was for under- water use.

The Germans invented a device called snorkel. This enabled a "sub" to stay submerged for long period; without having to surface to replenish the supply of fresh air or recharge batteries. They also invented self-controlled tor- pedoes which travelled towards the greatest sound in the vicinity. Thus, when in a convoy a "sub" captain could fire his torpedoes in almost any direction and be fairly sure of hitting the largest ships.

The Canadian: then retaliated with s simple gadget which was just two pieces of iron loosely bolted together. When this was towed behind a ship on a cable. it produced In

The Hawker Sen Furies, which are on the “lIlsgniflccnt" are among the fastest propeller-driven aircraft in the world.» .They<sre cs-pshle of speeds upto 450 miles per hour. There src'twenty Naval train- ing establishments located in Canada’: chief cities. The estab- lishments are manned by members of the Reserve, and Active forces. These establishments sro used to train members of the Run-ve force, and also to serve-as re- cruiting cemres. These establish- ments are "dry land ships". but with modern equipment realistic naval training is made possible.

our Canadian Navy shows fine foresight in the maintaining and training of s Reserve force, Uni- versity Naval Trsining Division. snd Sss Cadets.

The Russ-vs forcs sad the Uni- versity Naval Trsining Division an fineorgsnizstions foryoung men who sre interested in a naval life. The men who join these forces receive good pay and are equipped with nsvsl uniforms. some members. particularly stu- dents. spend as much of the sinn- rner as possible onsctive service. During the summer months, the

long greater amount of noise than the engines of the ship thus deflecting the course of the torpedo.

Towards the end of the war Ger- man "subs” grew bolder and in- flicted great damase as near as the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Halifax harbour. Here they tor- pcdoed unsscorted merchant ships and laid mines. ‘

The Canadian Navy also sup- plied the answer to mlnss—mlne- sweepers.

These were small ships with weights and floats arranged on cables so that the assembly swung outward from the ship. This. was ths “sweeper". When the cable anchoring a mine came in contact with this it was guided to a "cut- ter" which severed the cable sl- lowing the mine to float. Then it would be exploded by gunfire.

There were many different kinds of mines but principally they were anchored by a cable to a con- crate block on the bottom and al- lowed to come within a few feet of the surface. When a ship struck ons of the many home on the mine it made the electrical con- nection detonstlng the exp sive material within the outer sh l of thg mine. The xploslon usually ssnkpthe ship.

New in peace time. the merchsnt ships. soiling under the "Bed Dust- or-"—-as they affectionately call the Red EnI|gn—-play an important role In the life of every Csnadlsn. They us our cheapest means of exporting snd importing goods in- cluding food and clothing. Some psopls think that large cargo plans: will replscs ships in the nest future but this is highly im- probable.
