The Royal Canadian Navy was called upon to participate in virtually every phase of war at sea. This is the official history of the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War. This impressive book chronicles how the RCN expanded more rapidly and played a greater part in Allied operations, than could possibly have been foreseen when the war broke out. Over a period of six years, the RCN's contribution to the Allied war effort fundamentally transformed the RCN's nature. In 1939, the RCN was a small coastal defence force with 'blue water' aspirations. Canada's Navy was modelled on the British Navy and formed an important part of the Empire Navy, a worldwide network of British naval communications, intelligence and trade defence. RCN officers and a large number of ratings served in RN training ships and establishments. This book is a fitting testimonial to the men and women of Canada's Navy. **** If you’re new to Poshmark - Welcome!
