Premier Brad Wall was presented today with a framed pictorial history of the Canadian Navy warships sharing the name of the province of Saskatchewan. Commander Derek Moss, commanding officer of Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Regina made the presentation in the Legislature as part of the Royal Canadian Navy's Centennial namesake program.
"The navy has long had a close connection to Saskatchewan despite the province's geography," Wall said. "So this year we celebrate the centennial for the navy in Canada. We celebrate the ingenuity and daring of those who first put our armed forces in the water and the extraordinary men and women who have continued to keep us afloat."
Two ships are named for the province of Saskatchewan. The first was a Second World War destroyer, His Majesty's Canadian Ship Saskatchewan, built for the Royal Navy in 1935. Originally christened the Royal Navy HMS Fortune, it was transferred to the Canadian Navy and renamed in 1943. The succeeding HMCS Saskatchewan was a destroyer built in 1963.
In appreciation of the navy's contributions, Wall announced that the Government of Saskatchewan would make a small donation to each of the four active Saskatchewan Namesake Ships, HMC Ships Regina, Saskatoon, Queen and Unicorn for the "benefit and welfare of all personnel in the ship and their dependants".
Similar presentations are being made across Canada, to bring attention to the Canadian Naval Centennial and highlight the connection the Navy has with communities large and small in every corner of the country. Since 1910, Canada has put more than 850 warships to sea under the naval ensign. More than 300 ships have been named for communities from coast to coast to coast.
The framed histories include a photograph of the ships, a picture of the ship's badge and a short history of the ships' service. These will be displayed at the Legislative Building.
