| Additional information |
The Battle of the Atlantic ran from 1939 to 1945 — the longest continuous military campaign of the Second World War. Canada's role was disproportionate to its pre-war naval strength: the Royal Canadian Navy entered the conflict with fewer than a dozen warships and ended it as the third-largest Allied navy, having escorted roughly half of all convoys crossing the North Atlantic. The human cost was steep. Over 2,000 Canadian sailors died, and 59 vessels were lost.
The RCM issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program marking the 70th anniversary of the war's end.
