Increased operational and training activity together with the use of more powerful sub kil- lers is -the,.RCAE’s answer to the

The* introduction of new air- craft with greater detection and attacking capabilities provides Canada with an anti-submarine force designed to locate and des- troy the enemy before he can inflict damage on vital shore- based installations or sea lane convoys.

RESCUE FUNCTIONS

Aircraft of MAC patrol the waters off h East and West coasts. Planes stationed at Greenwood, N.S., operate over Atlantic waters. RCAF Station Comox, B.C., is the home of air- craft which participate in exer- cises in the Pacific, anywhere be- tween Alaska and Mexico.

Aircrew for Maritime squad- rons are trained at 2 ‘(Maritim- es) Operational Training Unit, at the Island Station of the RCAF, at Summerside, P.E.I. Here they learn the basic principles, pro- sjcedures and tactics employed in the complex Maritimes operat- ions,
