156394 2 TRIDENT News September 17, 2018 From Africa to the Arctic: Tunisian naval officer sails with the RCN on Op NANOOK

By Lt(N) Linda Coleman, HMCS Charlottetown PAO

SLt Ala Majdoub, a naval officer from the Tunisian Navy, landed at the Halifax airport on August 5, 2018 to begin the adventure of a lifetime. He was about to spend five weeks sailing in HMCS Charlottetown on Op NANOOK, Canada’s largest military operation in the North. He’s also the first member of his navy to sail with the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and to cross the Arctic Circle. SLt Majdoub is part of Op REGU- LUS, a program that facilitates ex- changes between the RCN and partner navies from around the world with the goal of providing at-sea experi- ence, unique training opportunities, and relationship building. Since its inception in 2010, Canada has en- gaged with over 10 countries through this program, including Australia, Chile, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Peru, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It’s now been extended to Tunisia, and SLt Majdoub is the first member of his navy to partake.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

A group of RCN personnel from Naval Fleet School (Atlantic) recently made the organization proud with their willingness to lend a hand at the scene of a serious accident on a busy highway. The four sailors were returning from 5 Cdn Div TC Det Aldershot, where they were conducting mainte- nance and fire warden rounds, around noon on August 22. A two-vehicle motor vehicle accident occurred just seconds ahead of them on Highway 102, sending both vehicles, including two drivers and three passengers, into the ditch off the side of the road near the Kearney Lake Road exit. While the group didn’t see the ac- cident take place, MS Andrew Bailey said they spotted the vehicles in the ditch, with one flipped over onto its passenger side, and immediately pulled over to help. The accident had occurred just moments earlier, with all victims still inside the vehicles and other onlookers making the first calls A group of Master Seamen from NFS(A) recently helped respond to a motor-vehicle accident on Highway 102 while returning from to 911 as the RCN members arrived.

Robert Brooks was in Halifax on August 29 to speak about the organiza- tion’s future in the Arctic, delivering a presentation to the Royal United Services Institute of Nova Scotia (RUSI(NS)). He talked about a possible future where, rather than being the sole provider of marine emergency services in Canada’s north as they are today, portions of the Coast Guard’s Robert Brooks, Canadian Coast Guard Director Economic and Industry Intelligence, speaks to members of RUSI(NS) at RA Park on August 29.

By Col (ret’d) Ian Lightbody

This year will see the retirement of the longest-serving Canadian combat aircraft - the Sea King. Originally de- livered in August 1963 to then HMCS Shearwater, just outside of Halifax, NS, it will finish its service to Canada at the end of this year in Patricia Bay, just outside of Victoria, BC. Over its 55 years of employment in Canada, the Sea King has served with multiple services and has changed significantly from its initial 1963 configuration. Originally procured by the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) to op- erate from the aircraft carrier HMCS Bonaventure for Anti-Submarine War- fare (ASW) roles, it was on the leading edge of rotary wing technology at the time with two turbine engines and the then revolutionary capability to auto- matically transition to a hover with the push of a button. This allowed a great leap in night and all-weather operations permitting anti-submarine searches with an active dipping sonar. Additionally, the automatic transi- tion equipment permitted search and rescue operations in bad weather. The Sea King initially flew from Three Sea King helicopters fly past HMCS Charlottetown during the final operational flight of Sea Kings from 423 Squadron, 12 the aircraft carrier.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

CFB Halifax continues to rack up sporting wins through the 2018 sea- son, and have recently added Slo-Pitch softball to the list of national gold medals for this year. The CFB Halifax Men’s Mariners team were victorious at the recent CAF National Slo-Pitch Championships, held from August 26- 29 at CFB Borden. Up against teams from representing Esquimalt, Petawawa, and Ottawa, the Mariners’ strong offense carried them through the tournament undefeated, including multiple games that saw the team score 20+ runs. In the finals, Halifax was up against Petawawa, and once again relied on crushing offense to bring the cham- pionship trophy home. A 2-run home run and a collection of doubles helped them to an early 6-0 lead after the first inning, and while Petawawa was able to answer with four runs of their own early on, they couldn’t keep up through seven innings, leading to a final score 25-8 for Halifax. MCpl Darren Bell of JPSU Halifax was named the team MVP for the tournament as well as for a number of the individual games. On the women’s side, Edmonton took the gold medal with a 14-11 win over Valcartier in the final game. CFB Halifax also represented the Atlantic region in the women’s tournament, and while they didn’t make the finals, they still turned in strong perfor- mances, including a 21-11 victory over Kingston during round-robin play.
