War in the Atlantic and Pacific

Battle of the Atlantic On June 19, 2003, the Government of Canada designated September 3rd of each year as a day to acknowledge the contribution of Merchant Navy Veterans. “What a miserable, rotten hopeless life... an Atlantic so rough it seems impossible that we can continue to take this unending pounding and still remain in one piece... hanging onto a convoy is a full-time job... the crew in almost a stupor from the nightmarishness of it all... and still we go on hour after hour.” Frank Curry of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) wrote these words in his diary aboard a corvette in 1941, during the Battle of the Atlantic a battle that would be called the longest in history. acc.gc.ca/remembers/sub.cfm?source=history/secondwar/atlantic/atlanticvid

The Battle of the Atlantic The Battle of the Atlantic officially began in September 1939 with the sinking of a passenger ship called the Athenia, and fighting continued in the North Atlantic until Germany was defeated in May During this period German submarines, often called U-boats and surface raiders, tried to cut Allied supply routes across the Atlantic. This threatened the transportation of vital goods and personnel from North America to Britain. Along with the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), the Merchant Navy played a key role in Canada’s efforts to clear the North Atlantic of U-boats. The Battle of the Atlantic was the only Second World War conflict that took place close to North American shores.
