Canadian Forces RCN Navy Sub-Lieutenant Rank Slip-Ons Insignia Pair

The Canadian Forces RCN Navy Sub-Lieutenant Rank Slip-Ons Insignia Pair are regulation rank insignia used by Sub-Lieutenants in the Royal Canadian Navy. Each slip-on is constructed from dark navy blue fabric and features a single gold braid, denoting the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. Designed to be worn on the shoulder straps of uniform shirts and jackets, these slip-ons are part of the standard dress for Canadian naval personnel. The gold braid is stitched securely and follows the official specifications set by the Canadian Forces. This pair represents the rank just above Acting Sub-Lieutenant and below Lieutenant within the Navy’s commissioned officer hierarchy. Such insignia have been in use since the unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, continuing earlier traditions of Royal Navy rank insignia. Collectors and historians often find these pieces useful for research or for completing period-correct naval displays. Each pair shows the official pattern and construction typical of issue items.
