Summary
DescriptionHalifax Dockyard.jpg
English: In this late-war photograph, Canadian corvettes (foreground) and other warships (background) crowd the docks at Halifax, Nova Scotia.
During the Second World War, the Royal Canadian Navy underwent a massive, unprecedented expansion that saw it grow from 13 to more than 350 warships, and from 3,000 to a peak of over 90,000 personnel, a daunting task that encountered considerable problems. Among the ships were the corvettes HMCS Dundas (front centre) and HMCS Chilliwack (front left centre).
