The issue with many of the "freelance" unofficial items is that the vendors have not done their homework. Such is the case with the decanter. 2010 is not the centennial of the RCN. It is the Canadian Naval Centennial as the Canadian Navy began as the Canadian Naval Service on May 4, 1910 and was designated the Royal Canadian Navy 15 months later Aug 19, 1911. It then became Maritime Command within the Canadian Armed Forces and known throughout as the Canadian Navy.
