#HMCSGooseBay arrived in St John’s today as #OpNANOOK22 winds down. #DYK? During WWII, St. John's played a valuable role that evolved from a defended harbour to possibly the most important escort base developed by the Royal Canadian Navy in the North Atlantic. 📷 SLt Baker 📷 MS Benoit

Incredible footage captured by a Saildrone unmanned surface drone from INSIDE Category 4 Hurricane Fiona. The footage was captured Thursday more than 300 miles southwest of Bermuda.

Quite the sight to see #HMCSMargaretBrooke passing Chain Rock and Fort Amherst this morning. BZ on your amazing inaugural deployment! And it's great to have the #OpNANOOK22 Canadian Task Force reunited in St. John's for our final port visit before returning home next week.

FIONA left deep scars across Atlantic Canada this past weekend, but daybreak at the eastern edge of North America is a simple reminder that every day can be a new beginning. #AtlanticCanadaStrong

Well deserved, Jeff! And thank you. Definitely one the most alarming text messages I received while in Command... GBY & SHA seemed determined to slip and proceed of their own volition that day, but thanks to you the Squadron remained alongside and ready to fight another day!

Well deserved, Greg! The other hero of the day, when GBY & SHA unexpectedly attempted to 'depart' their berths in a storm last year. Greg and Jeff were on scene within moments, and ensured that both ships were safely brought back alongside. Thanks, and congrats on the BZ!

MARLANT Congrats to #HMCSGooseBay and @GooseBayCO on the Change of Command! Maybe the new guy can keep the ship out of my landscape photography. 😂 (Cuz everyone knows I soooo hate taking photos of ships…)

Thanks sir! Three years at the helm of GBY was definitely a challenging but rewarding adventure. Watching and supporting the current generation of Royal Canadian Navy sailors was an inspiration. 11 out of 10 - Would highly recommend!

I can't think of a better officer to take the helm of #HMCSGooseBay. Fair winds and following seas, Drew. I look forward to watching GBY's continued successes under your leadership! #IStandRelieved
