HMCS Halifax

TGEX

26-30 Nov 07

 

Canada's Navy was gracious enough to invite Dr. Laure Paquette, professor of Political Science at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario to visit the HMCS Halifax during a Task Group Exercise (TGEX) 26 through 30 Nov 07. The Halifax, also known by some crew members as the "Mighty Sleek Greyhound of Death", was joined by the HMCS Iroquois, HMCS Ville de Quebec, HMCS Preserver and HMCS St. John's in the mid-Atlantic off Norfolk, Virginia for this portion of the exercise.

 

Dr. Paquette has been kind enough to share the photographs below with MILNEWS.ca . High resolution versions of the photos shown here are available on request to news(at)milnews.ca .  She has also posted some of her experiences and insights from the trip to her research blog.

 

Dr. Paquette would like to thank the crew of the HMCS Halifax for their gracious hospitality during her stay, as well as for their professionalism and sacrifice in carrying out their duties protecting Canada.
