HMCS CC-2 was a CC class submarine used by the Royal Canadian Navy. Launched in 1913 in the United States for Chile and purchased in 1914 by British Columbia and later acquired by the RCN.
The ship was assigned to the west coast and in 1917 to the east coast. It arrived in Halifax for preparation to send the two CC class subs to the Mediterranean. Deemed unsafe, the submarines were scrapped and sold off in 1920.
