CANADIAN NAVY
VAST GROWTH SINCE 1939. OTTAWA. October 2. The Canadian Navy has doubled its size in the last fourteen months and increased its stature thirty-four times since the outbreak of war, a rate of expansion not paralleled in all naval history. If the rate of growth contem plated at present is maintained the number of officers and men in the Canadian Navy by the end of next year will be 90,000, or approximately the number of men that the British Navy had at the beginning of the present war. The strength of the Canadian Navy today stands at 70.000 men manning over 550 ships of all types as compared with fewer than 2,000 before the war manning only 15 ships.
