Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Royal Canadian Navy. Flag Officer Atlantic Coast : The Flag Officer Atlantic Coast (FAOC) was the naval officer charged with the overall control and disposition of the Royal Canadian Navy in the Northwest Atlantic and the defence of shipping in times of war or emergency. The position of FOAC was originally that of Commanding Officer Atlantic Coast (COAC), created in 1911 for the naval defence of the Atlantic coast and direct communication with Naval Service Headquarters (NSHQ). With the outbreak of the Second World War, the COAC held overall responsibility for the convoys originating at Halifax and coordination with the Royal Navy Commander in Chief, Atlantic and West Indies Stations (C-in-C, A and WI). The COAC was renamed the Commander in Chief Canadian Northwest Atlantic (C-in-C CNA) April 1, 1943 in a reorganization of Canadian-United Kingdom and US anti-submarine warfare. C-in-C CNA was responsible for all sub-commands, and in turn was relieved of administrative responsibilities. This arrangement continued until 1959 when Maritime Headquarters Atlantic was established under the control of the Flag Officer Atlantic Coast. As the Commander Canadian Maritime Atlantic in the NATO structure, the Flag Officer Atlantic Coast paid a key role in deploying anti-submarine forces during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.
