Lil Adolph Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Would you not consider adding the one of the largest Navy's during WW2 to the game ? They even had an aircraft carrier !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Graeme Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 By the end of WWII the Royal Canadian navy was the third largest in the world. Mostly corvettes and destroyers tho, since convoy protection was its primary task. Some submarines & cruisers, & yes, one or two aircraft carriers I think, on loan from the British. Not entirely sure. I know we always had at least one postwar, from 1946 up to early 60s or thereabouts. Anyway, given the importance of Canadian North Atlantic convoy escorts I certainly hope they'll be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Kalichack Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 The First Aircraft Carrier in The RCN was the H.M.S Nabob. She was Canadian-manned, British designed and American made. The Nabob was torpedoed off the coast of Norway by U-354 on August 22, 1944 while hunting for the Terpitz. Two shots where fired that could sink her, one bow-one stern; the stern hit, but the bow shot was taken by the H.M.S. Bickerton, an escort destroyer that took the shot to save the carrier. Canada's wartime navy was an integral part of world war II history. Including the RCN in this fine game would be grand.
