HMCS/NCSM Winnipeg

Before coming in to anchor in Cordova Bay, BC this past weekend, #HMCSWinnipeg had a cable party (now with fewer sitcoms and more anchors). The term 'Cable' is also a nautical unit of measurement equal to __/10th of a nautical mile. Do you know? 🔗⚓ Shout it out. #WeTheNavy

Le @NCSMWinnipeg et son CH-148 Cyclone effectuent un entraînement conjoint à haut niveau de préparation dans le cadre de l'#OpPROJECTION dans l'#IndoPacifique. Et la météo n'aurait pas pu être meilleure ! 📸Mat1 Gonzalez @MarineRoyaleCan @RCAF_ARC

The Flt Chief and I met the Command Teams of VANCOUVER and WINNIPEG alongside Pearl Harbor. We were honoured to host The US INDOPACOM Fleet Master Chief David Isom, who presented coins and passed along words of thanks from Admiral Aquilino, Commander of INDOPACOM. #BZ

The Fleet Chief and I were honoured to present medals, honours and awards, and conduct a few promotions to the exceptional crews of HMCS WINNIPEG and HMCD VANCOUVER while the ships conducted a brief fuel stop in Pearl Harbor.

À la fin d'un ravitaillement en mer, nous jouons une chanson REM pendant que nous nous séparons. Quelle chanson recommanderiez-vous pour un REM ? Photos : S1 Melissa Gonzalez @MarineRoyaleCan @operationsFC @NCSMWinnipeg #OpPROJECTION

On the completion of a Replenishment at Sea, we play a RAS song as we break away. What song would you recommend for a RAS? Photos : S1 Melissa Gonzalez @RoyalCanNavy #OpPROJECTION @HMCSWinnipeg @CFOperations

L'exercice comprenait des hélicoptères japonais atterrissant sur des navires canadiens, américains et australiens et transportant du personnel médical vers le JS Bungo pour soigner le personnel blessé (simulé) qui avait été secouru d'un navire (simulé) en détresse.

Un JMSDF SH-60 Seahawk atterrit sur le #NCSMWinnipeg pour récupérer du personnel médical dans le cadre de l'exercice multilatéral de recherche et de sauvetage. 📼S1 Melissa Gonzalez @MarineRoyaleCan @operationsFC

A JMSDF SH-60 Seahawk lands on @HMCSWinnipeg to pick up medical personnel as part of the Multilateral SAREX, which featured Japanese helos ferrying CAN, US, AUS medical personnel to @JSBungo to treat simulated wounded personnel rescued from a simulated vessel in distress.

Ce fut une journée bien remplie sur l'eau alors que des avions et des navires du Japon, de l'Australie, du Canada et des États-Unis ont participé à un exercice multilatéral de recherche et de sauvetage au large des côtes du Japon la semaine passé. 🇯🇵 📸 mat 1 Melissa Gonzalez
