		Canadians of British descent favored direct financial aid to the British government instead of support for a local fleet, arguing that Canada would be better served by the well-established British navy than by its own fledging fleet.
		The new navy was neglected during the political stalemate that ensued, and by 1914 the RCN was virtually nonexistent.
		Canadian minesweepers cleared the approaches to the beaches at Normandy in preparation for D-Day, and the RCN put Canadian soldiers ashore to participate in that famous invasion.

Kelly Williams, the Navy’s director of Maritime Strategy.

		All of the Canadian warships that had been operating in British waters came to Newfoundland and, as additional corvettes were completed at Canadian shipyards, these, with incomplete equipment and virtually untrained crews, launched into the harrowing transatlantic escort mission.
		At the same time, Canadian escort vessels still formed a major part of the mid-ocean force that took convoys between Newfoundland and British waters and, during the summer and autumn of 1942, these corvettes and destroyers faced a new German ‘wolfpack' offensive that was stronger still than the assault in 1941.
		Thus, the Canadian fleet was continuously and heavily engaged in Canadian and Newfoundland home waters, as well as in protecting the by-then enormous transatlantic convoys that fed supplies to the Allied armies in Europe.

		Prior to that, he was the Research Officer at the Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies, as part of the DND Security and Defence Forum Internship Award.
		Failed and failing states are indeed a central concern for Canadian security and national interests, and have been throughout the post-Cold War period, as our extensive operational experience in stabilization and robust/complex peace support missions seems to indicate.
		As such, the danger posed to Canadian security of not having such a combat capability, when compared to the increased (and one can say unrealistic) hopes of maintaining a fully combat-capable CF, can be overestimated.

		The Naval Service of Canada changed its name to Royal Canadian Navy on January 30, 1911, but it was not until August 29 that the use of "Royal" Canadian Navy was permitted by King George V.

		I purchased The Halifax Explosion and the Royal Canadian Navy thinking it was a depiction of the navy's efforts to assist victims of this disaster.
		As the author notes early in his book, the Halifax explosion, to the extent it's been studied by historians at all, is generally approached from a sociological viewpoint that concentrates on the event's impact on the people of Halifax.
		It's also very interesting to see the developing institutional ethos of the Royal Canadian Navy, which had existed as a nominally independent body for less than a decade at the time of the explosion.
