CANADA’S NAVY
OPERATIONS OF DESTROYERS. OTTAWA. In the first months of the war, Canada’s destroyers have been at sea more than six hours out of every ten, Commander Eustace Brock, controller of naval information, told a large gathering here recently. “Our ships have ranged far and Wide —I wish I could tell you how far and how wide—and taken their place in the naval defences,” he said. Commander Brock said that the morale and efficiency of the Canadian Navy had been maintained to an unusual degree, and the day the war started ships and men were ready to swing into instant action. “The nayy represents something more than preparedness for war,” the commander declared. “It is a bond of Empire.”
