SUBJ:VICE-ADMIRAL ANGUS TOPSHEE FLAG HOIST SIGNAL
1. I AM PROUD TO ASSUME COMMAND OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY. IN THIS
ERA OF DIMINISHED TRUST IN SENIOR LEADERSHIP, I RECOGNIZE THAT I MUST
EARN YOUR CONFIDENCE. I PROMISE THAT THE RCN WILL PLACE AS MUCH
IMPORTANCE ON CHARACTER AS IT DOES ON COMPETENCE AND THAT WE WILL BE
FAIR, EQUITABLE, AND TRANSPARENT IN FACING THE CHALLENGES THAT
CONFRONT OUR NAVY TODAY
2. MY MAIN FOCUS AND THE TOP PRIORITY FOR THE RCN IS TO ATTRACT,
RECRUIT, AND TRAIN AS MANY SAILORS AS POSSIBLE FROM ACROSS THE FULL
SPECTRUM OF CANADIANS. THIS WILL TAKE A COLLECTIVE EFFORT ACROSS THE
ENTIRE INSTITUTION. SUCCESS HERE WILL EASE THE BURDEN ON ALL THOSE
SAILORS WHO ARE WORKING HARD TO OVERCOME OUR PRESENT SHORTAGE OF
PERSONNEL
3. WE CAN ONLY SUCCEED IF WE CREATE A WELCOMING, INCLUSIVE AND
ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR NEW SAILORS AS WELL AS EVERYONE SERVING
TODAY. I AM COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT EVERY MEMBER OF THE NAVY TEAM,
MILITARY AND CIVILIAN, PART TIME AND FULL TIME, IS EMPOWERED TO
PERFORM TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND THAT THEY NEVER DOUBT THAT WE
VALUE AND APPRECIATE THEIR HARD WORK
4. FINALLY, WORLD EVENTS HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT WE MUST BE A NAVY
THAT IS READY TO FIGHT. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT WE ARE NEVER TESTED IN
COMBAT BUT, SHOULD THAT COME TO PASS, WE MUST BE READY AS THE LIVES
OF OUR SAILORS AND SHIPMATES DEPEND UPON IT. THAT STARTS BY BEING
HONEST ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE, NOT HOW WE WANT THEM TO BE
