HMCS Esquimalt is the old British Royal Navy base that was commissioned around 1848. When Britain handed control of our waters to the Canadian Navy in 1922 the Canadian base HMCS Naden was commissioned. In 1966 after Paul Hellier screwed things up it became known as CFB Esquimalt.

My those kilties are touchy It must be do to lack of thermal insulation!!

Actually I have to confess to having a whole family tree full of them on both sides of my parents. My grandmother was a MacDonald of the Isles and the enclosed gent is one of my ancestors.
