Chance encounters at sea are a thing of beauty, especially when you get the opportunity to support your #NATO Allies with a little ⛽. Fair winds and following seas to #DESRON22 #ReadytoHelp @RCN_MARLANT @HighSeasSkipper #ddg75 #ddg57

You're welcome Sir- it was our pleasure to support MON!

[NRU ASTERIX @nruasterix]

Flags are a means of communication between Ships, and sometimes when you #RAS with foreign Navies, you just got to be a bit Canadian, eh!

The cooking began at 0700 and 38 crew contributed to its all day rotation!

[NRU ASTERIX @nruasterix]

After 31 years of dedicated, continuous and often humorous service, CPO2 Pink, our Chief Boatswain Mate will retire from the RCN. Today, @MV_Asterix's Master honoured him with their flag, a true gesture of mariner friendship.
