Line 58: ==History== [[File:HMCS Discovery.jpg\|thumb\|right\|HMCS ''Discovery'' plaque in Stanley Park]] ===The World Wars=== ''Discovery'' traces its history to the creation of the "Number 2 (Vancouver) Company" of the [[Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve]] at the beginning of [[World War I]]. This small group was composed of 87 members of the [[Royal Vancouver Yacht Club]] who served and were demobilized at the end of the war. It was not until May 1924 that Lieutenant-Commander J.W. Hobbs was given permission to form the first "Vancouver Half Company" of the Naval Volunteer Reserve. [[Robert Louis Stevenson]]'s schooner ''[[Casco (schooner)\|Casco]]'' was used for a time to train cadets in the 1920s.
