Umm No. Today the helicopter embarked on a deployed RCN frigates are crewed by personnel who are in the Air Force, not the Navy, and belong to an Air Force Squadron. Except for Tactical control it is an Air Force operation. The only change was Canada went away from the hated green uniforms for everyone, to environment specific uniforms. Other than that cosmetic change the unified force structure from the 1969 reorganization has not changed with respect to Maritime air.
