The Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy

The Irrelevant Example

Edit: ok I partially take it back, could be just British indeed :)

We used to have a Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Navy, etc.  Now it is just the Canadian Armed Forces 

OK breaking radio silence.

While both the RCN and RCAF are part of the overall Canadian Armed Forces, they reverted to their traditional names under Harper.
