 Following the Korean War and through the remainder of the 1950s-1960s, HMCS "Cornwallis" functioned as the new recruit training centre for sailors entering the Royal Canadian Navy, with very little additional training for other ranks.The February 1, 1968 unification of the Royal Canadian Navy with the Royal Canadian Air Force and Canadian Army to form the Canadian Forces saw HMCS "Cornwallis" change its name to Canadian Forces Base Cornwallis, or CFB Cornwallis.At the time of unification, many duplicate bases and facilities were being closed; however, it was determined that CFB Cornwallis would become home to the English-speaking division of the Canadian Forces Recruit School (CFRS) and would train recruits at the enlisted level destined for service with one of the three operational environments of the entire Canadian Forces (land, sea, or air).
