Canada’s shipyards, which built fleets of anti-submarine craft, was an impor-
tant factor in the navy’s success.
Depending heavily on sea-borne trade, and possessing strategic bases
dominating the North Atlantic, it is obviously in Canada’s interests to inte-
grate her naval plans with those of other members of the North Atlantic
community. Canada’s ability to build and man fleets of anti-submarine vessels
makes it appropriate that her navy should specialize in anti-submarine warfare.
During and since the war the RCN has added to its fleet of small ships an
aircraft carrier and light cruisers, the nucleus of a powerful anti-sub-
marine force capable of making a major contribution to the defence of the
free world. But rigorous specialized training has not diminished the RCN’s
versatility, as evidenced by the valuable work done by Canadian destroyers
under United Nations command in Korean waters.
