She was the pride of the Royal Canadian Navy, a majestic symbol of Canada's Cold War strength. But her story is one of both triumph and tragedy, a reminder that even the mightiest vessels can meet an untimely end. This is the HMCS Bonaventure, Canada's last aircraft carrier.

Join me on a journey through the history of the "Bonnie," from her wartime origins as HMS Powerful to her service in the Royal Canadian Navy, her role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and her controversial scrapping in 1970. We'll explore her capabilities, her contributions to Canadian naval aviation, and the political context that led to her early demise.

We'll also delve into the "what ifs" and explore the potential impact if Bonaventure had remained in service.

This is a story of dedication, sacrifice, and a lost legacy. It's a reminder of the importance of naval aviation and the ever-changing tides of politics. Join me as we pay tribute to the HMCS Bonaventure and the men and women who served aboard her.
