From 1961 to 1966 he served in the submarine HMCS Grilse, Royal Roads Military College and the submarine HMCS Ojibwa.

The subject of Split Grilse is a young salmon caught near Mary Pratt’s home and filleted by her daughter.

This photograph shows much of the crew of the torpedo boat HMCS Grilse posing around the ship's aft 12-pounder gun.

Originally a civilian yacht, HMCS Grilse was purchased by the Royal Canadian Navy and commissioned as a torpedo boat during the First World War.

Easily the fastest ship in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Grilse could reach speeds of more than 30 knots (55 km/h).

HMCS Grilse, seen here steaming at high speed, was the Royal Canadian Navy's closest ship to a destroyer during the First World War.

This rare colourized photograph captures the launch of a torpedo from HMCS Grilse, a civilian yacht converted to a quick torpedo boat for patrol and escort duties.

During its first 16 months of service, Grilse travelled the equivalent of more than twice the earth’s circumference in 374 days at sea.

Then, as grilse (adolescents) or as adults, they return to fresh water and spawn, after changes occur in colour and other external features.

By the time of this photograph, newer, larger and more powerful torpedoes were in widespread service, but Grilse's 14-inch models could still inflict significant damage.

During its first 16 months of service, Grilse travelled the equivalent of more than twice the earth’s circumference in 374 days at sea.

Spring salmon can be caught in the fishery at Galway City from the month of February and the best grilse fishing is in the months of May and June.
