 Lieutenant Commander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lieutenant Commander (Lieutenant-Commander in British English) is a commissioned officer rank in many navies superior to a Lieutenant and subordinate to a Commander.
A Lieutenant Commander is a senior department officer on a large ship or shore installation.
Lieutenants were commonly put in command of smaller vessels not warranting a Commander or Captain: such a Lieutenant was called a "Lieutenant Commanding" or "Lieutenant Commandant" in the United States Navy, and a "Lieutenant in Command" or "Lieutenant and Commander" in the Royal Navy.

Canadian Forces Maritime Command (MARCOM) is the naval branch of the Canadian Armed Forces.
MARCOM provides vessels for Standing Naval Force Atlantic and for exercises off Norway in support of Canada's defence obligations for northern Scandinavia under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), patrols the north Atlantic and Pacific oceans in support of Canadian sovereignty, and is tasked by NATO with anti-submarine patrols for the northwest Atlantic.
Although aviation assets are the responsibility of Canadian Forces Air Command (AIRCOM) since unification, the political fiasco surrounding the maritime-helicopter replacement has had a major impact on the ability of the Canadian patrol frigates to deliver their expected capabilities.

 DND/CF : News Release : Government of Canada Awards Contracts to Sikorsky for New Canadian Forces Maritime Helicopter
“The Canadian Forces are increasingly called upon to respond to challenging and complex operations throughout the world,” said General Ray Henault, Chief of the Defence Staff.
Delivery of the first helicopter, to be called the CH-148 Cyclone, is required to be no later than November 2008, with the remaining helicopters to be delivered at a rate of one per month thereafter.
The contract has a series of bonuses for early delivery but also imposes penalties for late delivery, making it very much in the company's interest to deliver the helicopters as soon as possible.
