Maritime Command

Maritime Command is the former name of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). Founded in 1910 as the Naval Service of Canada and given Royal Sanction in 1911, the Royal Canadian Navy was amalgamated with the other branches of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968, after which it was known as Maritime Command. The historical name Royal Canadian Navy was restored in 2011.

The RCN has served in both World Wars, the Korean War, Afghanistan, and in the Libyan Civil War.
