Good timing. And it looks like pretty cold temperatures you guys are
expecting.

The Brits sent over their new fleet amphibious flagship 'HMS Albion' for
frigid weather testing. It arrived yesterday for a four day visit and then
planned to travel to Newfoundland and north up along the Labrador coast for
another 6 days.
Cold they wanted...cold they got!

Why didn't they test it in Upper Quebec or Newfoundland? A much shorter
route from the UK with similar temperatures.

Halifax is the Naval headquarters for the Atlantic Fleet and they will be
working with one of our destroyer escorts. They do plan to head to
Newfoundland after the four day stay here.
