For units which have indeterminate statuses when this list is being updated, status defaults to "at homeport".
Date provided in listing is the year in which the vessel was commissioned by the Canadian Navy. Please note that the VICTORIA class submarines were originally commissioned in the Royal Navy from 1990-1993.
