Several
Canadian naval units have been named HMCS Acadia.
CSS Acadia is Canada's most historic oceanographic and hydrographic survey and research vessel. She was commissioned into naval service as HMCS Acadia (I) during both the
First and
Second World Wars, while serving with her civilian name before and after each conflict. She is currently a
museum ship docked during the summer months at the
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in
Halifax, Nova Scotia. Acadia is the name the French Colonials gave to Nova Scotia prior to British Rule.[1]
