By Darlene Blakeley, Senior Editor and Writer, Navy PA

In an effort to minimize the hardships facing sailors when they head off to work at sea, the Royal Cana- dian Navy (RCN) is working towards having WiFi available across the fleet of Halifax-class frigates and maritime coastal defence vessels. “If having WiFi allows sailors to stay better con- nected with family and friends while away from home, then this is a positive step forward in reducing the hardships that often disconnect them from the normal world,” says Commodore Casper Donovan, Director General Naval Force Development, who is leading efforts to introduce the capability into the RCN. Part of that effort also means staying in sync with technology given that new devices such as tablets and some laptops, and certainly cell phones, are being developed without an ability to connect to traditional network cables and jacks.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

When HMCS Oriole sailed into on July 28 for the first visit to the city since 1984 for the sail-training vessel, its 20-person crew had already logged an impressive 14,000 kilometres since leaving port in Esquimalt on March 16. Oriole’s four-month long Canada 150 tour took the ship down the Pacific Northwest coastline, through the Panama Canal, to Bermuda, and eventually to Boston, her first stop as part of the Rendez-vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta. The popular program brought Oriole to 10 Canadian cities including Quebec City, Charlottetown (on Canada Day), Miramichi, and of course Halifax, alongside 30 other tall ships from 10 different nations. A typical summer would see the ship focus on more localized outreach activities and community visits on the West Coast, and while this months-long trip around the continent included plenty of RCN outreach and thousands of visitors coming on board, it also brought valuable sailing experience for Ori- ole's young personnel. “There’s been some great actual sailing that took place, like sailing from Turks and Caicos to Ber- muda, where we did 500 miles in 48 hours. Or when we were in 50-knot winds off the coast of Oregon in five-metre seas,” said LCdr Mike Wills, Oriole’s Com- manding Officer.” “It’s certainly a very different sailing experience for the crew and there was definitely some excite- ment when we hit those strong winds.
