 TBC\nBiography\n\nVice-Admiral (VAdm) Angus Topshee is the 38th Commander o
 f the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). His diverse academic background includes m
 ilitary and civilian institutions on three continents. He has deployed in s
 hips around the world and has accumulated countless sea stories involving p
 irates\, sharks\, terrorists\, volcanoes\, whales\, fires\, and all the oth
 er things which make life at sea a true adventure. The highlight of his tim
 e at sea was his far too brief command of Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HM
 CS) Algonquin in 2009-2010 and\, a close second\, his three years in comma
 nd of Canada’s Pacific Fleet. His shore postings include two tours in the
  Navy’s Strategy directorate as penance for all of his sea time\, three y
 ears in command of Canadian Forces Base Halifax\, and two years as the Depu
 ty Director\, Strategy\, Policy\, and Plans at NORAD and United States Nort
 hern Command Headquarters in Colorado Springs. He also deployed to Afghanis
 tan for all of 2011 as the director of Afghan National Police Training with
 in the NATO Training Mission Afghanistan. Over the course of his career\, h
 e has somehow been involved in Arctic issues at every one of his shore post
 ings (except Afghanistan). Before taking command of the RCN in May 2022\, V
 Adm Topshee had the honour and the pleasure of commanding Maritime Forces P
 acific and Joint Task Force Pacific\, located in Esquimalt\, B.C.\nVAdm Top
 shee’s career is enabled by his fantastically supportive wife\, Audrey\, 
 and four tremendous daughters\, Amy\, Zoë\, Charlotte\, and Iris.
