NRU ASTERIX

🇨🇦 🇵🇹 Always great to work with our allies at sea! ⚓ We recently sailed with the Portuguese Navy off the coast of Portugal. 🇵🇹 NRP Bartolomeu Dias joined the Canadian Task Group composed of MV Asterix and HMC Ships Fredericton and Montréal. 1/2

Great shot by our best teammate @nruasterix! We provide ⛽️ and overall support to @RoyalCanNavy and our Allies, as you can witness here!! Keeping the fighting force at sea!

Got some gas from a new friend @nruasterix. Maybe next time we’ll try it underway ;) @federalfleet

We are home! Time to reset, relax and prepare for the next adventure! #ReadytoSupport

⛽ 🌈 🌅 couldn't have asked for a better day for the CO's, @NorthofJayne, last RAS! 📽 @TankerSteph

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!

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!

Un excellent souper de rôti de porc pour nous ce soir/Excellent roast pork for supper tonight 😋

It's a great day when you get to recognize and celebrate our sailors! Congratulations to a newly minted S2 Smith, MS Van Dine and PO2 Darbison! And a big thank you to the newly appointed #Sentinels #ReadytoLead #ReadytoHelp

They just love sneaking up behind us in our blind sector! Early morning RAS + breakfast donuts = RASdonuts

We will be conducting Sentiel training at sea this week adding to our Forces resiliency. #CAFLetsTalk

The crew of NRU Asterix and FFS are honoured to take part in #BellLetsTalk. Mental health may be invisible, but you are not. Listen. Be kind. #CAFletstalk @RCN_MARLANT

Back at it, doing what @nruasterix and @MV_Asterix does best- #RAS with #HMCSMONTREAL #ReadytoRAS @RCN_MARLANT

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.

We are proud of the amazing work S1 Richards does, BZ! Please read about his efforts and incredible dedication to supporting the Austism community of NS

@robmacd72 @federalfleet @NorthofJayne I cannot confirm or deny the presence of a pot of gold on @MV_Asterix

Hey @nruasterix what's with your emissions? I'm not saying it looks bad, but it's not very subtle. ⚓🌈🌈 @federalfleet @NorthofJayne

A great sailor doing great things!
