About This Item
"This tribute to a proud service surveys the history of the Royal Canadian Navy from its inception in 1910 to its demise in 1968. Expanding dramatically during WWII, the RCN gave convoy protection which proved crucial to the Allied victory at sea. New documentation on Canada's role in the Battle of the Atlantic highlights such critical factors as the contribution of radio intelligence to anti-submarine warfare against the deadly German "wolfpacks"; the wartime operational relationship of the RCN to the Royal Navy and the United States Navy; and the heroic role of Canadian sailors who served under fire. Demobilization and the paying off of ships marked the post-war decline of the RCN."
With 12 maps, 105 plates and illustrations, 2 charts.
