Canadian Naval Technical History Association

Some serious work has been done to develop a document that provides some of the history related to the building of ships for the Department of National Defence.

Douglas Hearnshaw has been working diligently to gather information related to shipbuilding and ship repair at the various facilities across Canada and has produced several updates over the life of CANDIB. Information has been compiled into a document entitled "Shipyards of the Canadian Naval Shipbuilding Program 1939-2000" - prepared by our own Douglas Hearshaw. Just follow the link from the article title.

Roger Chiasson, one of those deeply involved in Naval refits, has shared two documents related to the zero-manned, Multi-Ship Refit concept. Please go to our Other Publications page where you can link to the two documents, one a paper and the other a presentation.
