Title
“A symbol of our place in the world”: The Raising of the National Flag on Canadian Warships, 15 February 1965
Abstract
“Monday 15 February marked a turning point in the history of the Royal Canadian Navy.” These were the words of Commander Maurice Turner, captain of the destroyer escort Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Saskatchewan. He wasn’t speaking of the creation of the Naval Service in 1910, or some great event of the Second World War, or the end of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) as a separate service within the Canadian military, but was referring instead to Proclamation Day—15 February 1965. That day, the National Flag was raised across Canada for the first time.
