A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on October 21, 2014 and October 21, 2016.

Edit: Second RCN Ship, Not First

Previously this page listed the HMCS Niobe as the first ship of the Royal Canadian Navy, being commissioned on September 6, 1910. This date is correct, as verified here ^[1] on page 138. However, according to that same document, the HMCS Rainbow was actually commissioned one month and two days before that, on August 4, 1910. That can be verified on page 142. This document is the official history of the naval service of Canada, as published under the authority of the Minister of National Defence at the time.
