HMCS Queen was established in 1923. After several locations within the city, HMCS Queen moved into a permanent home in Wascana Park in 1955. Closed in 1964 due to budget cuts, it re-opened in 1975.[3] The battle honours of all HM Ships Queen have been inherited by HMCS Queen.
LCdr Aaron Kaytor assumed command of HMCS Queen in 2022, replacing Cdr Clark Northey.[4][5]
