Canadian Coast Guard Ship

The designation Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) (in French navire de la Garde côtière canadienne [NGCC] ), is applied as a prefix to vessels in the Canadian Coast Guard.

Prior to the formation of the Coast Guard in the 1960s 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  (Le CGS in French) or DGS for Dominion Government Ship.
