HMCS Somers Isles to do during the war once activated. By May 1945, 119 Canadian ships had passed through the facility. Towards the end of the war, the base was used to prepare frigates for service in the Pacific theatre. The RCN abandoned HMCS "Somers Isles" at the end of the war, one of eleven facilities that was disbanded by March 1946. Prior to closure, the RCN had intended to keep four motor launches at "Somers Isles" for target practice, but this idea was abandoned when the base was shuttered and the motor launches were deemed obsolete.
