SLEEK SUBMARINE
CHASER LAUNCHED
IN CANADIAN WATERS
Without ostentation, in a war set
ting, one of a fleet of sleek Canadian-
built submarine chasers was launched
from an Eastern shipyard. While rain
fell from dull skies overhead and
while a couple of hundred grimy
workmen cheered, the trim craft slid
along greased runways into the St.
Lawrence River. A handful of com
pany officials, several of the Royal and
Royal Canadian Navy’s officers and a
lone khaki-clad military representative
were on hand.
Constructed of Canadians materials
by Canadian craftsmen, the war ves
sel will serve under the ensign of the
British Royal Navy soon after she is
outfitted.
It was .a quiet formality, different
from any peacetime launching, where,
according to sea tradition, a woman
has the honor of naming the vessel.
Rear-Admiral H. A. Sheridan, R.N.,
Admiralty representative of the Brit
ish Supply Board, cut the White rib
bon that sent the champagne bottle
Smashing against the bow of the ship.
She knifed into the water and he de
clared: “Normally we have a cere
mony when We launch a ship. But on
this occasion no name has been given
her. I wish Godspeed to this ship and
to everyone who sails in her?’
Later he explained that contrary to
custom a woman had not been asked
to participate in the official christen
ing, simply because no name had yet
been decided on by the Admiralty in
London. The likelihood .is, he said,
that she will bear the title of a Can
adian wild flower, following the style
similar British-made submarine
fighters.
"Nearby, other chasers, which short
ly will be completed for use in the
British Navy or the Royal Canadian
Navy, lay ,si|ent while wtjrl^et^ jmj;

“If the federal field I have had the

and I have also had the opportunity of
conferring with a number, at least, of
the mayors of our cities and towns on
the same subject. The attitude of
them all was so instantly and defin

that all that is necessary is that the
position be explained to them.”

“The drain 'the war effort will cause
on the .man-power, equipment and re
