#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
Thanks Canadian Naval Memorial Trust! It's good to be home!
Thursday was a busy morning in @portofhalifax and saw the return of #HMCSGooseBay from ~2 months deployment to Canada’s north on #OpNANOOK. She left with #HMCSMargaretBrooke on Aug 2. Welcome back, @GooseBayCO! Royal Canadian Navy #shipsinpics Warships IFR Iain Ballantyne @HighSeasSkipper
BZ #HMCSMargaretBrooke! Great to see the capabilities of the Arctic\Offshore Patrol Ship coupled the magic of such a talented Ship's Company. This is what the Royal Canadian Navy vision of #ReadyToHelp is all about. #OpLENTUS #ReadyAyeReady Nicole Robichaud CFOperations MARLANT
Welcome back to your winter home in the dockyard, Canadian Naval Memorial Trust! Love, Your Bravo Jetty Neighbours
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!
