Canadian Forces Naval Recruiting Poster

This recruiting poster from the late 1980s or early 1990s helps show the re-emergence of a distinct naval identity within the Canadian Forces.

Two junior officers (upper right) wear the recently introduced Distinctive Environmental Uniforms (DEUs): one black, the other the white summer version. The poster also depicts naval trades and activities, including the use of a sextant for navigation (top centre) and a diver (upper left), accompanied by an artist's concept of the forthcoming Canadian Patrol Frigate and a Sea King helicopter (bottom).
