Exciting week for anyone interested in naval affairs.


CoolQ I don't know anythign about Canadian politics or prime
ministers, but I hope he has some good words of encouragement to the
crew. Same way with Lizzie. I'm suprised she can still get around.


Yes. the British Prime Minister did thank the crew for representing
Britain
at the fleet Review 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy this weekend.
I understand this Saturday is some kind of armed forces day over
there.http://halifaxifr.ca/en/home/tabid/61/default.aspx


Don, I noticed the link said:


Latest News
Ship tours schedule announced


"During the IFR several foreign and Canadian ships will be open for
tours including the HMS ARK ROYAL and USS WASP. Visit the ship tours
schedule for more info...."


You going to go take a look around?


Normally I avoid crowds...but this might be worthwhile.
If the weather is good (and the reports are favourable) I wouldn't mind
doing my own little review of the fleet in the Princecraft Yukon.- Hide quoted text -

Don if I were there, I'd be all over the fleet in a heartbeat. Myself
I'd try to be the first one one and the last one off seeing as much as
I could.

But in reality, I'd probably spend most of my given time in the engine
rooms asking questions.....
