HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22)
HMCS ''Bonaventure'' (CVL 22) was a aircraft carrier that served in the Royal Canadian Navy and the successor Canadian Forces Maritime Command from 1957 to 1970 and was the third and the last aircraft carrier to serve Canada's military. The ship was laid down for the British Royal Navy as in November 1943 but work was suspended in 1946 following the end of the Second World War. At the time of purchase, the Canadian Navy made it a requirement that new aircraft carrier technologies be incorporated into the design. ''Bonaventure'' never saw combat during her career, however, she was involved in major NATO fleet-at-sea patrol during the Cuban Missile Crisis.〔http://www.underthecat.com/Bonaventurehistory.html 〕
== History ==
As HMS ''Powerful'' she was laid down at Harland and Wolff in Belfast on 21 November 1943, and launched on 27 February 1945. Work was suspended following the end of the Second World War, and only resumed when it was bought by the Royal Canadian Navy in the early 1950s, which was looking to replace the Second World War–era light carrier (another ''Majestic''-class carrier), which had some deficiencies including not being able to operate newer jet age aircraft. Both the United States and Great Britain offered carriers for consideration and the incomplete HMS ''Powerful'', a ''Majestic''-class light fleet carrier, was purchased in 1952 from the Royal Navy on the condition that it be fitted with an angled flight deck, steam catapults and an optical landing system.
''Bonaventure'' was named for Bonaventure Island, a bird sanctuary in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and was commissioned with the requested improvements into the Canadian Navy on 17 January 1957. In 1966 the carrier began a mid-life refit in Quebec City which took 18 months and cost $11 million, both behind schedule and well over budget. Following the 1968 Unification of the Canadian Forces, and budget cuts, ''Bonaventure'' was decommissioned in Halifax, on 3 July 1970,〔Beaver, p. 119.〕 and was scrapped in Taiwan in 1971. Components from ''Bonaventure'' steam catapult were used to rebuild the catapult aboard Australian aircraft carrier , another ''Majestic''-class carrier.〔Hall, p. 213.〕
