In 1939, the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) had a relatively small force, consisting of about 13 ships and approximately 3,500 sailors. This marked the beginning of World War II, and the RCN would significantly expand in response to the conflict. By the end of the war, the navy would grow to hundreds of vessels and tens of thousands of personnel.
