CANADIAN FORCES BASE SHEARWATER, CANADA
Official blazon
Azure, in base two barrulets wavy argent, above which a shearwater volant proper.
Origin/meaning
The device and motto are derived from the former HMCS Shearwater badge. The establishment (named for HMC Sloop Shearwater 1915-19) is the Royal Canadian Navy Air Station at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Following Royal Navy precedent, it bears the name of a water bird and the badge, appropriatley enough, shows the bird flying over the sea.
The Motto translates as "We fly over the sea".
