    As a former member of the Royal Canadian Navy, I strongly disaprove, and please note,its already been done in some of the army regiments as well, and can the RCMP be not far behind?

    As a former Canadian Forces Pilot (1990-99) I fully support going back to the RCN and RCAF.

    Could you imagine the uproar by Canadians if the RCMP were forced to be the CMP?

    The RCN and RCAF are just as an important part of this great country's heritage (which was paid for in blood by our rapidly disappearing WW2 Veterans who all served in the RCN, RCAF or Canadian Army).

    Here here.

    We need to move forward from the mistakes of the past and to reclaim our lost heritage. This is about pride, tradition and identity and the need to reconnect with our glorious history, with our loyal veterans who fought under the banner, the Royal Canadian Navy.

    Tradition. Navies build it and it is something not disposed of lightly. The Royal Canadian Navy was a respected military organization with a great tradition won by professionalism, heroism and hard work. It was sad for me to see the loss of this great heritage many years ago when the armed forces were 'blended' together.
    Give the RCN back its great name and its rightful historic place among the navies of the world. I realize that this is not the RCN of WWII or even Korea but 'size does not matter' when it comes to heritage.
    I am a retired USN Captain (submariner) and always enjoyed to times we operated with the very professional RCN ships and their crews. My navy has always guarded and enhanced our traditions, especially in the Submarine Force. So I think the proposed name 'restoration' will be very important to the men and women serving in the Maritime Command.
    I realize the Command is manned by very dedicated professionals and i am not being critical of them. I just think they should be given a proper name for their organization. A name with a glorious history: The Royal Canadian Navy.
    Don Walsh, Captain USN (ret), Phd
