Without a doubt the greatest battle the RCN fought was the Battle of the Atlantic ... fought from September, 1939 to May, 1945.

OBS

From the very outset of hostilities in the Second World War the Atlantic supply route from North America to the United Kingdom was threatened. Eventually gaining control of the entire coast of Europe, from Narvik to the Pyrenees, the Germans set out from every harbour and airfield in western Europe to sever the lifelines to Britain.

OBS

Dès le début des hostilités de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la route de ravitaillement sur l'Atlantique, allant de l'Amérique du Nord au Royaume-Uni, est menacée. Éventuellement maîtres de toute la côte européenne, de Narvik aux Pyrénées, les Allemands tentent de couper les lignes vitales de ravitaillement de la Grande-Bretagne à partir de tous les ports et de tous les aérodromes de l'ouest de l'Europe.
