From the first deliveries in 1947 through the end of its service life with the Royal Canadian Navy in 1957, the Hawker Sea Fury formed the backbone of Canada's naval fighter strength. The Sea Fury's main role in the RCN was fleet/convoy defense, with secondary missions of anti-submarine/anti-ship strike and close air support of the Army. While the RCN never used its Sea Furies in anger, when the Korean armistice was signed in July 1953, VF 871 was already preparing for service in the Far East. Had the conflict continued, VF 871 would have gone to war with the Royal Navy aboard HMS Warrior.

A total of 74 Sea Furies served in three different RCN units: numbers 803 and 883 Squadron (renumbered 870 and 871 Squadron respectively from May of 1951), and the RCN's fixed-wing training unit, VT 40. The two operational squadrons were redesignated VF 870 and VF 871 in November 1952 to conform to the USN style of squadron identification.
