U-190 Pennant

Following the German surrender, U-190 entered service with the Royal Canadian Navy, a role commemorated by this pennant.

Marked "HMC Sub U-190," for "His Majesty's Canadian Submarine," the pennant graphically marked the new ownership of the surrendered submarine, with a bulldog seizing a Nazi eagle by the neck. The navy took U-190 on a tour of eastern Canadian ports before putting it to use for training. In October 1947, the navy sank U-190 as a target during Operation Scuttled, a live-fire naval exercise off Halifax.
