CCGS is an initialism for Canadian Coast Guard Ship and is used as a prefix for naming vessels in the Canadian Coast Guard (in French Navire de Garde côtière canadienne [NGCC][1]). Smaller vessels use the prefix CCGC, which is an initialism for Canadian Coast Guard Cutter (CGCC in French[2]). Hovercraft used by the Canadian Coast Guard use the prefix CCGH for Canadian Coast Guard Hovercraft (GCC in French[3]).[4]
Prior to the formation of the Coast Guard in the 1960's ships operated by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (now known as Fisheries and Oceans Canada) were named with either the CGS prefix for Canadian Government Ship[5][6][7][8] or DGS for Dominion Government Ship.[9][10]
