6 UNDERSTANDING THE RCN, RCNVR, RCNR and RCN(R) The Royal Canadian Navy came into existence in 1910 (and thus celebrated its Centennial year in 2010). The RCN is the regular force navy of Canada. The Royal Navy Canadian Volunteer Reserve (RNCVR) is the reserve force of the RCN and came into existence on 14 May The letters RNCVR were used initially for this organization. During WWI, 6,000 men had served in the RNCVR manning 136 small patrol vessels. The RNCVR was disbanded on 15 June The Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve (RCNVR - Wavy Navy) came into existence on 31 January 1923 with a half-company in Montreal. Officers could be distinguished from the RCN regular force officers because the RCNVR officer wore wavy rank stripes. Also in 1923, the Royal Canadian Navy Reserve (RCNR) came into existence. It comprised men who had a seafaring career in foreign-going, coastal, fishing or other vessels. The Fishermen s Reserve came into being in 1937 and was a branch of the RCNR. It was made up largely of fishermen as the name would suggest. In November 1945, the RCNVR and the RCNR were amalgamated into what was now called the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, the RCN(R). The RCNVR and RCNR no longer existed but because each had separate ribbons for their decorations and medals, it was decided that the RCNVR ribbons would be used. These decorations and medals were thus used until the Canadian Forces Decoration came into being on 15 December Anybody serving in any of the reserve branches before 01 September 1939 remained eligible for the reserve medals but all those after that date would now receive the CD.
