Abstract

On 30 April 1943 the Royal Canadian Navy assumed responsibility for the protection and control of shipping in the North West Atlantic. This event marked the successful conclusion of a campaign by the Royal Canadian Navy to gain control of its rapidly expanding seapower and to assert autonomy in an ocean area that was of primary national interest.
