Headline text

How can Maritime Command be strictly classified as the successor to the RCN as Canada's "senior service," since it is not a separate service but a command within the still-unified Canadian Forces?--MarshallStack 04:25, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Forces Administrative Orders gave precedence to MARCOM over other commands, and to the Naval Operations Branch over other personnel branches. Thus the Plugs maintain their precedence as Senior Service over the Pongos and Pigeons. --SigPig 11:07, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

one of the largest naval forces in the world?

Can someone explain the part about MARCOM being "one of the largest naval forces in the world" when it only has 36 ships and submarines?

Well, clearly that's not true. I have removed that statement. --72.136.242.25 16:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure to remove the corresponding statement in Canadian Forces#Maritime Command (MARCOM) too. --Spoon! 08:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Colin Kenny quote

I removed the following from the section on the Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ships:

The CBC quoted Senator Colin Kenny, Chairman of the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence^[1]:

"I think they're going to be so light, they'll have trouble breaking the ice in a gin and tonic,"

Ha ha. That's sort of a funny joke, but I don't know if this page is the place for jokes. The quote doesn't provide much insight. Besides, the sentence immediately preceding this already summarizes the opposition to the project, so this is superfluous.

--Aardvark114 04:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The second place that also cites same reference look legitimate, so I re-added the reference itself (without, of course, adding the funny quote). Please be more carefull when removing references that are referenced more then once. — Shinhan < talk > 13:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
