Fleet of the future reshapes Royal Canadian Navy trades
The Royal Canadian Navy adopts a common entry system cutting initial enlistment to three years and channels men to trades by aptitude after enrolment. Merged branches will retire familiar titles as master-at-arms, gunnery rates, and shipwrights are rebranded as hull technicians and weaponmen. All current personnel transfer with rank and seniority preserved. The change applies to the RCN now and to the Reserve later.
