[edit] 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)

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)

[edit] 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)

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