A new building was constructed for the division in 1959 (the present day Queen Charlotte Armoury) but five years later, on December 15, 1964, "Queen Charlotte" was paid off and the facilities were turned over to the Canadian Militia.In the early 1990s, the Department of National Defence looked to revitalize the Canadian Navy and in 1993 the Minister of National Defence announced plans to re-establish HMCS "Queen Charlotte" as a Canadian Forces Naval Reserve Division.
