Illsley, the federal Minister of Finance and MP for DigbyAnnapolisKings, saw DND reconsider. A location in Ilsley's riding on the shallower but protected Annapolis Basin straddling the western border of Clementsport and eastern border of Deep Brook was quickly adopted. While the location for the training base was being sorted out, the actual training establishment was founded at a cost of $9 million at Halifax's HMC Dockyard on May 1, 1942 and was named HMCS Cornwallis in honour of Edward Cornwallis, the founder of Halifax.
