Saw the dog today (Don't know if he has a name yet), We almost had one of the instructors talked into doing this stint for Halifax but he claimed if he did it, he was going to stop at every fire hydrant and p*** on it - and knowing him, he probably would have! For those unawares, he is a Newfoundland dog - The mascot, not the instructor!......

 

[kratz]

I had a couple of photos from my trip to the IFR that do not fit with that topic, but they are CNC related.

The CNC garden at Windsor Park, part of Formation Halifax

and the C&PO Mess CNC Memorial positioned next to the Halifax Port Authority

 

[Pusser]

Interesting that the C&POs Association chose to use the pre-1949 badge of the RCN (only nine maple leaves).

 

[George Wallace]

Interesting that the C&POs Association chose to use the pre-1949 badge of the RCN (only nine maple leaves).

Same for the crown; what many refer to as "the King's Crown", as opposed to the one we have for Queen Elizabeth II.

 

[KrazyHamburglar]

The monument is to commemorate events of the Battle of the Atlantic, the Second one I assume even though it is not clear... I think it is very
appropriate to use the badge the men fought and died under during that time and not one that came after 

 

[Pat in Halifax]

Ya - There probably should have been a second photo of the other side which lists all World War II RCN losses. That would explain the "Kings Crown" when they were all HIS Majesty's Canadian Ships.

Students at CFSATE were asked to produce 13 CNC posters. Here are three of them:

Hi,

For those interested in visiting the HMCS Fredericton, the ship will be in Montreal this Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Here's the link... and enjoy your visit

Hi,

For those interested in visiting the HMCS Fredericton, the ship will be in Montreal this Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Just a few points on form and format (and please take no offence, for none is intended):

In proper Canadian military writing style, ships' names are always written in full capitals.  Civilian publications tend to use italics. 

We don't refer to ships as "the HMCS FREDERICTON."  It's just "HMCS FREDERICTON."  If you think about it, you would never say, "the Her Majesty's Canadian Ship FREDERICTON," so "the HMCS FREDERICTON" is also incorrect.  To say "I'm going to visit the FREDERICTON" is not too bad, but it's better to say, "I'm going to visit FREDERICTON."  Unfortunately, the fact that many of our ships are also named for places, makes things a bit confusing, so it's good to remember the capitalization rule above.  Please also note, that these rules do not apply in French.

A few other things that didn't come up in the above post, but are good to know nonetheless:

Ships' captains may be referred to by their ships' names.  For example, "the Admiral met with FREDERICTON, MONTREAL and ST JOHNS," means that he had a meeting with three of his commanding officers.  "The Admiral visited FREDERICTON, MONTREAL and ST JOHNS," means that he went on board those ships.  When challenging a small boat (i.e. "Ahoy there") if the response, "FREDERICTON" is received, it means that the Captain of FREDERICTON is in the boat.

We sail in ships NOT on ships.  I had an XO years ago who threatened to make anyone who referred to sailing on the ship sling a hammock on the upper decks and never be allowed to go inside.

When speaking of several ships, we say, "HMC Ships FREDERICTON and MONTREAL" or if speaking in more general terms, simply "HMC Ships."  We never say, "HMCS ships."  It's similar for "HMC Dockyard."

 

[Pat in Halifax]

Ha ha - If you know who I am, you are likely shocked I left that one alone!..but alas, it is true. I especially cringe though when I see said faux pas in our own Chronicle Herald.
NOTE - I do not let that one go!!
All that aside, good to see FRE's crew in a slightly more 'relaxed' sailing environment that they were previously!

 

[Alea]

Pusser,

Thank you for the lesson, I'll try not to forget it.

Just a few points on form and format (and please take no offence, for none is intended):

No offence taken at all although I am completely aware of my lacks of knowledge concerning the English language and its "little tricks".

In proper Canadian military writing style, ships' names are always written in full capitals.

On the link from the CF, http://www.forces.ca/fredericton2010/index.html#, HMCS is capitalized but Fredericton is italicized so I was wondering, which is the right way?

We don't refer to ships as "the HMCS FREDERICTON."  It's just "HMCS FREDERICTON."  If you think about it, you would never say, "the Her Majesty's Canadian Ship FREDERICTON," so "the HMCS FREDERICTON" is also incorrect. 

If I think about it no, I would not say "the Her Majesty's..." and to tell you the truth I had no idea that HMCS referred to "Her Majesty's Canadian Ship" now that I know, I also realize that I wrote it wrong in the french forum since in French, NCSM, Navire canadien de sa majesté, would stand for HMCS.

Please also note, that these rules do not apply in French.

Granted.
Our French rules are different when it comes to capitalization (and a lot of other things also) and we refere to frigates as "elle", "une frégate" since it is a feminine noum... but I'm not sure if we would say "she" or "her" in English.

[MARS]

Alea,

Don't sweat it.  It has been discussed, and  - like the Matrix -  will be discussed again here

 

[Occam]

Our French rules are different when it comes to capitalization (and a lot of other things also) and we refere to frigates as "elle", "une frégate" since it is a feminine noum... but I'm not sure if we would say "she" or "her" in English.

Naval warships are always referred to in the feminine.  "She's a fine ship", "Her boilers are shot".

Also, see this explanation.

Depends upon the culture.  Russians go the male route for their ships.

Well, I learned something today.  After doing a bit of reading, it appears the French do the same.

 

[Pusser]

Unlike many other languages, English does not actually classify most of its nouns into masculine feminine or neuter.  Not that it really matters because verbs and adjectives do not agree with nouns based on gender anyway.  Ships are "she" in English, simply by custom and because we who have gone down to the sea in ships know full well that they are living entities with fickle personalities that wear this honour well.

Most nouns in English are actually neuter and the only ones that are masculine or feminine are those that refer to a living thing that actually is biologically masculine or feminine (e.g. ewe, ram, sow, boar, cow, bull, doe, buck, dominator, dominatrix,...)

 

[Lex Parsimoniae]

On the link from the CF, http://www.forces.ca/fredericton2010/index.html#, HMCS is capitalized but Fredericton is italicized so I was wondering, which is the right way?

The CF has posted the following on the Canadian Naval Centennial website:

1)    A Canadian warship is known in writing as H.M.C.S. Buckingham or HMCS Buckingham, even, the Buckingham; but a ship’s name should never appear in quotation marks. The name when used for the designated class is not in italic and only the first letter is capitalized. In the Department of National Defence documents, names of ships are written entirely in upper case and are not italicized: HMCS HALIFAX.

[Alea]

Well, I learned something today.  After doing a bit of reading, it appears the French do the same.

Yes we do "the same" as the Russians but not for all ships. For example, a boat will be "un bateau" in French but a frigate or a shuttle boat will be referred to as "une frégate", "une navette".

Thank you for the link you provided. I now understand why a ship is a "she/her" in English
