Page 27: Prince William Class. HMS NABOB was never on Strength with the Royal Canadian Navy. The captain and a majority of the crew were RCN. The Fleet Air Arm manned the flying side. Due to the mix of nationalities and pay structures, there was serious discord aboard. Through the efforts of the captain, Canada set the pay rates to RCN standards (except for the FAA). The ship in reality was a Canadian financed and operated Royal Navy warship. The crew was much happier.
The Canadian Government and Prime Minister were adamant that Canada would not be a part of Lend-Lease but would be a cash customer.*
