HMCS Cabot is a Canadian Forces Naval Reserve Division (NRD) located in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

It was thought that the unit was commissioned at the beginning of the academic year, well before it was ‘properly organised or prepared’, to accommodate the UNTD Cadets so they might commence their naval training as soon as possible.

All administrative issues quickly being overcome, the past operational experience and seamanship of the Ship's Company became readily apparent when they sailed the unit tender, HMCS Revelstoke, to Bermuda in 1951, participating in naval exercises en route.

Cabot enjoyed the use of many tenders throughout its sixty-year history: Revelstoke, and Langara were replaced by Acadian, which was transferred to NCSM Donnacona.

This vessel served HMCS Cabot for seventeen years, performing many tasks at home and abroad, including circumnavigating the island, wreath laying ceremonies, and various training exercises, before being retired in 1996.
