Sorry, but to my knowledge Canada has never has post offices on its Navy ships, although in recent years a commemorative postmark or two may have been issued to them. From my records the only countries to have operated post offices on their Navy (military) ships a

* The United States, continuously since 1908
* Germany, 1895-1918; again about 1938-1945; and again from about the
mid-1980s but only when ships are deployed abroad.
* France, continuously since the 1930s.
* Italy, during World War I. Not sure about after that.
* Austro-Hungarian Empire, from the 1890s until the empire was broken
up in 1918.
Surprisingly not on the list is Great Britain, which, despite "ruling
the seas" has never placed operating post offices on its Navy ships.
I'm sure if I have missed any countries, someone will let us know.
