By Trident Staff

After nearly a year and a half at sea supporting Royal Canadian Navy ships and allies around the world, MV Asterix arrived back at its homeport of Halifax on August 26. The interim supply ship, owned and operated by Davie Shipbuilding subsidiary Federal Fleet Services, left Halifax in April of 2018 and has kept a busy schedule that included, but wasn’t limited to, involvement in Exercise RIMPAC 2018 off Hawaii, Op PROJECTION and Op NEON in the Asia-Pacific, and support for Op ARTEMIS and CTF 150 in Middle Eastern waters. In total, the vessel conducted 197 refueling operations with 40 different warships from 12 countries through the 500-day deployment, transferring nearly 31 million litres of ship’s fuel. Asterix sailed a total of 150,721 nauti- cal miles, and conducted exercises, operations or port visits throughout the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, South China Sea, Ara- bian Sea, and the Persian Gulf.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

The Royal Canadian Navy has marked another important step on the road to accepting the first Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship (AOPS), with construction of the new Jetty NJ now complete at the north end of HMC Dockyard. Government representatives, senior RCN leaders, including Atlantic Fleet Commander Cmdre Richard Feltham and CFB Halifax Base Commander Capt(N) David Mazur, and other sailors and CAF members gathered to officially cut the ribbon for the project on August 22. Cmdre Feltham touted the size and location of the new jetty, along with its modern fendering system and utility tunnel, as an upgrade that will allow the dockyard to accommodate greater numbers of larger ships without worry. This includes current and future RCN ships and those of our visiting allies, he said. “This project provides critical infrastructure to enable us to do the things we need to do to prepare our ships to go around the world, and it will allow us to execute the missions Government officials, senior leaders, and that the people and the Government members of HMCS Harry DeWolf were of Canada need us for.” on hand to officially mark the completion “It provides a new, safe place at of the Jetty NJ project at HMC Dockyard home to berth our ships, do our on August 22.

By RCN News

SLt Vinesh Shah was 18 when his family left Mumbai, India to start a new life in Canada. Now in his late 20s, Shah is using his upbringing to solve problems for HMCS Oriole as a Logistics Officer. “India is a resource scarce centre, so we were always having to find makeshift solutions to all sorts of things,” said SLt Shah. Whether it was repurposing cricket balls to use in other sports, creating a multipurpose futon/bed/table out of repurposed wall-décor, or repair- ing electronics with found wire and a soldering iron, he said a ‘creative solutions’ attitude permeated his life as an Indian youth. “I remember one funny story when I had to move a large TV and we didn’t have a car so I found a friend and the two of us transported it by holding it with one arm each as we rode two different bicycles down the road,” he said. This unique mindset recently proved useful when Oriole was docked in Summerside, PEI. The dock agent said that a brow – which is like a gangplank for getting on and off the ship – wasn’t available to be used.

He said that in India, eye contact can be considered rude and aggressive while in Western Culture, if a person doesn’t do it, it can be looked at as hiding something.

DOMINGO His attitude helped the Oriole crew to avoid missing Canada Day recently when, at the last minute, festival organizers in Toronto wanted the ship to move from its berth which would mean cancelling a day of shore leave for the crew. SLt Shah took the initiative and organized a meeting with city coun- cillors and, to his captain’s pleasure, negotiated movement on a later date, preserving a much needed day of recu- peration for the busy crew which has been deployed on the Great Lakes De- ployment (GLD) for almost a month. “While there are always positions and authorities, sometimes critical thinking can create conveniences on all sides,” he said. This summer SLt Shah is beginning to live his dream of travelling and experiencing new places with the Royal Canadian Navy. This year Oriole passed through Rhode Island and New York State before travelling up the East Coast and beginning its GLD. Since then it’s stopped in several American and Canadian cities along the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes giving the public an opportunity to actually set foot on a navy ship and talk to sailors. “GLD is a good way to inform the public, including potential recruits, PO1 Adam Yardy fires the ship’s cannon aboard HMCS Oriole while coming alongside in Kingsville, Ontario. about the navy,” he said.
