HMCS Oriole is the sail training vessel of the Royal Canadian Navy. She is a sailing ketch, currently the oldest and longest serving commissioned vessel in the Royal Canadian Navy. The vessel was first acquired by the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War, then returned to private ownership at the end of the war. It was reacquired during the Cold War for use on the East Coast of Canada before switching to the West Coast of Canada permanently in 1956.
