Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Shearwater is the second-oldest military aerodrome in
Canada. In August 1918 the US Navy established Naval Air Station Halifax on the
shores of Eastern Passage to support flying boat patrol aircraft. The seaplane
station was taken over by the Air Board in 1920 for civil flying operations,
and later developed by the Canadian Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The station became known as RCAF Station Dartmouth through the Second World
War.
Post-war, 1948, the Royal Canadian Navy took over the
facility, naming it HMCS Shearwater, also known as Royal Canadian Naval Air
Station Shearwater (RCNAS Shearwater).
The combined land and sea-based aerodromes were used
to station carrier-based maritime patrol and fighter aircraft. Shearwater was
also the home to early experiments with ship-borne helicopters—something which
was copied by navies around the world. During the 1960s, the aerodrome at the
former RCAF Station Debert was attached to HMCS Shearwater as a training
location for carrier landings.”
