During World War II, the Canadian Navy primarily utilized a range of naval vessels, including corvettes, destroyers, and frigates, for anti-submarine warfare and convoy escort duties. The fleet was equipped with various weaponry, including depth charges, anti-aircraft guns, and torpedoes. Additionally, Canadian ships often carried 4-inch and 12-pounder guns for surface engagements. The navy played a crucial role in the Battle of the Atlantic, protecting supply lines from German U-boats.
