That what I thought, but wasn't sure about the statement  "Dept I.G.CB 5/2/43 S161 Canada"

Many thanks for the replies so far, very helpful.
Still struggling to fill the Aug 41 to Feb 44 gap as I can't make out where he was

World War Two / Help needed decoding Grandad's RN service record
« on: Monday 20 January 20 10:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've finally managed to get a copy of my Grandads RN service record from the national archives, and have a few questions regarding the content:

1. What does the "SC" under Ship in which serving relate to? Submarine Course?, confined to cells?
2. Bottom of first page is a comment: "Dept I.G.CB 5/2/43 S161 Canada" (I think its I.G.CB, hard to decipher second character) Anyone know what this is?
3. Page 2 has a comment under ships in which serving: "A/Sdg Sto ty 1/2/44 S161" Again, any help with this phrase is welcomed.
4. Page 1, Badges: what do the G, D, or R stand for?
5. Any help with meaning of the notes in the Remarks section on Page 2 (I get the obvious ones about absence, break out, disobedience)
Page 1 has a statement "joined R?R 21/6/39 DEV B16820" is this RNR, and what does the DEV B16820 stand for?

Couple of assumptions I'm making:

Drake 4 is HMS Drake here in Devonport
Pyramus is RN shore establishment in Kirkwall, Orkney
Eaglet is RN shore establishment Liverpool

Any help greatly appreciated! :-)
