ESQUIMALT,
B.C. – Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) ships in harbour will be “dressing ship” from
sunrise to sunset tomorrow (February 6, 2013) to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s
accession to the throne.
Dressing
ship is a navy tradition of flying signal flags on a
line from bow to stern with the National Flag at the masthead. This is done to
mark significant events in Canada and the Commonwealth, and occurs on nine
different occasions throughout the year including our National Flag Day.
