After months of secretive planning, and preparing the crew to defend their ship if necessary, the Royal Canadian Navy has transited the Taiwan Strait. https://t.co/HjBanjXZOD
The final block of AOPS #5 has been lifted and placed on the Bow mega block. All three mega blocks of the future HMCS Frédérick Rolette are now in the Module Hall and will roll onto land level together next month.
We are counting down to the delivery celebration of the future HMCS Max Bernays which will take place this afternoon at the @RoyalCanNavy dockyard. This morning at Halifax Shipyard, ISI President, Dirk Lesko presented Commanding Officer Colin Forsberg with the official logbook.
Last week at sea in Moncton and had the pleasure to host @CFL Commissioner @RandyAmbrosie and the Grey Cup. Fantastic day at sea!! Thank you on behalf of all Moncton Crew. Hoping for @deslauriers9 and the @MTLAlouettes to hoist the Grey Cup soon!
What an absolute honour visiting CFB Shearwater, CFB Greenwood and the HMCS Moncton to kick off a terrific week in Atlantic Canada! Grateful to meet so many inspiring members of the @RCAF_ARC and @RoyalCanNavy to thank them for their service. The countdown to #TDAtlantic begins!
Wonderful having members of the @RoyalCanNavy by our sides for the first-ever #CFL regular season game in Nova Scotia! And thank you to all of Atlantic Canada for embracing our celebration of this beautiful region and Canadian football! #TDAtlantic
Some fine young shiphandlers with control of departures and exits of Halifax Hbr. More from training our reliefs coming up in following weeks. @AnchorsAweighNS @HighSeasSkipper @CO_HMCSYork
The #OpPROJECTION22 Task Force has arrived at our last port on this side of the Atlantic - Caniçal, Madeira - before we head home.
Met by beautiful views & rainbows this morning, we knew we'd come to the right place for our sailors to unwind at the end of the deployment.
Why does the @RoyalCanNavy have such good ship-handlers?
Practice.
And what does that look like for our junior Naval Warfare Officers?
Take a look for yourself!
MCT & GBY spent a few hours today practicing Officer of the Watch Manoeuvres together.

That's a wrap!
Today #HMCSMoncton & #HMCSGooseBay left Dakar, Senegal - our final port in West Africa for #OpPROJECTION22.
This marks the end of our engagement mission with civilian & military partners, afloat & ashore, which began 40 days ago in Sierra Leone.

Ops training off the coast of West Africa 🌊
HMCS Moncton recently participated in Exercise OBANGAME EXPRESS with our partners from Italy and Côte d’Ivoire during #OpPROJECTION.
Two ex-Sea Trainers going rogue executing red flex event, and srl planning on their own. Thanks to @GooseBayCO for providing some realism for MCT to asses plans. Team was not expecting a real(ish) fire and Oscar taking a dip. Collaboration for the win #OpProjection22
#HMCSMoncton executed a Search & Rescue Exercise (SAREX) this morning, assisting the "Fishing Vessel Goose Bay" who was adrift due to an engine fire & had several casualties.
Realistic training like this is how we ensure we're always #ReadyToHelp.
BZ MCT!
