Year: 1994 Language: english Author: Ken Macpherson, John Burgess Genre: History Publisher: Vanwell Publishing Limited Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 244 Description: Here is the book for which a great many naval veterans have been waiting. In it they will find the details and illustrations of well remembered ships that were their "homes" for many tempestuous months in a most unfriendly environment under conditions of considerable danger. There is a brief outline of each ship's service and enough information to conjure up a host of memories: of commissionings and workups; of convoys and struggles with the worst the North Atlantic could produce, gales of wind, mountainous seas, fog, snow and ice; and for some, encounters with the enemy. This is the definitive account of all those Canadian men-of-war that have served their sovereign and country both in peace and war for over seventy years, as "a security for such as pass on the seas upon their lawful occasions". Well and truly have they done so under the White Ensign and, latterly, the Canadian flag. This book is a record of loyal and faithful service, which it is hoped, will not be forgotten by succeeding generations.
