Over the past year, the Naval Association of Canada has produced an excellent series. With the goal of public education, NAC has created a series of Briefing Notes. These 2-3 page documents explain maritime and naval issues for Canadians. They’re short and sweet, and provide a great base of information. With the permission of NAC, CNR will publish one Briefing Note per week here.
