The Royal Canadian Navy also operated a fishery protection vessel, HMCS Grenville, launched in Toronto in 1915.

HMCS Protector was the name of a Royal Canadian Navy base located in Sydney Harbour on Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island.

On 22 July 1940, this facility was commissioned as HMCS Protector, taking its name from Patrol Vessel Protector ; RCN regulations at the time dictated that the name of a naval shore establishment must have been borne by a vessel afloat.

The February 1, 1968 unification of the three service branches into the Canadian Forces saw HMCS Shearwater change its name to Canadian Forces Base Shearwater ( CFB Shearwater ).

HMCS Preserver is the name of several ships:

Eleven ships of the Royal Navy and a reserve shore establishment of the Canadian Navy have borne the name HMS / HMCS Discovery, while ships of other branches have also used the name:

HMCS Trinity is the name of the organization housed at Stadacona which is tasked with maintaining MARLANT communications with vessels and other Canadian Forces and allied units, as well as developing strategic and tactical operational intelligence for unit commanders.

The Canadian Armed Forces built and tested a number of hydrofoils ( e. g. Baddeck and two vessels named Bras d ' Or ), which culminated in the high-speed anti-submarine hydrofoil HMCS Bras d ' Or in the late 1960s.

* HMCS Saguenay, two ships that served the Royal Canadian Navy

The Germans attacked again two days later, sinking HMS Egret on August 27, 1943 and seriously damaging HMCS Athabaskan.

Even though by 1922 the RCN had been cut back to 366 men and had paid off its last remaining cruiser HMCS Aurora, the Navy kept two destroyers donated by the Royal Navy, HMCS Patriot and HMCS Patrician, until they were replaced in the late 1920s by two other ex-Royal Navy vessels HMCS Champlain and HMCS Vancouver, and thereby maintained ships in service throughout the lean years.

Nevertheless, this decade saw the RCN slowly begin its rebuilding, as Ottawa joined London, Paris, and Washington in a growing apprehension of the ramifications of Nazi Germany's rearmament and the adventurism of Italy and Japan, and procured two more destroyers from the Royal Navy: HMCS Ottawa and HMCS Restigouche.

* HMCS Algonquin, at least two ships of the Canadian Navy

On the first day of the First World War, the provincial government purchased and took possession of two submarines ( HMCS CC-1 and HMCS CC-2 ) to defend the province from the threat of German attack.

In 1974, Garneau began his career in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Navy combat systems engineer on HMCS Algonquin.
