A CH148 Cyclone helicopter from 12 Wing Shearwater re- cently conducted its first Anti- Submarine Warfare (ASW) events with HMCS Windsor off the coast of Nova Scotia. The exercise was linked to ongoing Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) being conducted by Helicopter Test and Evaluation Facility (HOTEF) at 12 Wing Shearwater. ASW is a component of under- water warfare that employs sur- face warships, aircraft, and other submarines to find, track and deter, damage or destroy enemy submarines. This was the first time a Cyclone has engaged in such activity, and represented an important milestone in the evolu- tion of this new aircraft which provides wings for the fleet and state-of-the-art air power for the Royal Canadian Air Force. According to Maj Erik Wei- gelin, a pilot with HOTEF, the Cyclone's sonobuoy processing system was tested to detect and track HMCS Windsor using pass- ive sonobuoys. “This system allows us to track submarines without making any active noise, thereby denying the submarine knowledge of the helicopter's location or poten- tially even the fact that they are During a week at sea, CH148 Cyclone crews conduct embarked Operational Test and Evaluation with HMCS Montreal, the first ship to support being tracked at all.

By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

RHIB rides, submarine dives and at-sea war games were all on the agenda for for four parlia- mentarians as they visited the east coast over October 12-13 for a special Royal Canadian Navy experience. The highlight of the visit was a 24-hour stint in HMCS Windsor, one of Canada’s four Victoria-class diesel electric submarines. The politicians made the trip as part of the RCN’s Canadian Leaders at Sea (CLaS) Program. For nearly a decade, CLaS has been embarking gov- ernment officials, community and business leaders and other strategic stakeholders on board HMC ships and submarines to showcase the skill sets and equip- ment that the Navy employs in defence of Canada. The program also provides valuable insight into the day-to-day life of sailors and submariners and the living and working conditions inside their temporary homes at sea. The guests included Liberal MPs Marwan Tabbara and Chandra Arya, as well as opposi- tion members Pierre Paul-Hus and Cheryl Gallant, who both sit on the House Standing Commit- tee on National Defence. They were accompanied by RAdm John Newton, Commander MARLANT and JTFA. CLaS is meant to be an intens- ive and immersive experience, and a Victoria-class submarine was the right place to fulfill that goal. The guests were submerged more than 100 metres underwa- ter, dined in the boat’s small Lt(N) Navy Devon Matthews talks with Members of Parliament Marwan Tabbara, and Chandra Arya onboard HMCS Windsor in Halifax, Nova messes with personnel, and slept Scotia on October 12, 2016.

Driving in long Canadian winters can make your wallet unpleasantly light, and here's why: 1. You use more gas in the winter. A drop in temperature from 24°C to 7°C can raise fuel consumption in urban commutes by as much as 28 percent. With the cold comes dry winter air that's denser than summer's humid air, which spells bad news for your gas tank. The colder temperature increases the aerodynamic drag on your car, and adding winter's higher average wind speed to the drag only makes it worse. Plus, snow, ice, and slush compete with salt, gravel, and sand to grab at your tires and make your engine work harder. 2. The gas you use does less. Gasoline blends are adjusted to account for seasonal temperatures. For example, a litre of winter gas has less energy than a litre of 123RF PHOTO summer gas, as much as 3 percent less. Add that to the higher gas use winter days mean more headlight and interior the engine which means, you guessed it, block heater with a timer in the morning brings, and it's a double holiday helping of light use.

Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry to and other reasons. This led to better weather and field condi- tions than traditionally played in, but caused concern amongst the coaching staffs. Preparation for the game would be cut in half and that led to fears that the quality of the game could suffer- .These fears were quickly set aside, as the players put on a good competitive show for all that attended. The Slackers leaned heavily on the running game early on, scor- ing on a run by LS Isaac Blakata in the first quarter. The sub- sequent extra point snap was low, but holder/QB MS Will Cain calmly passed to LS Allan Pater- son for a two-point conversion instead, putting the Slackers up 8-0 early. The defences took charge after that, as the Slackers could only manage two special team points for the rest of the half, a single point by Paterson punting the ball through the end zone, and a tackle in the end zone on a Wardroom punt return resulting in another. Ten-0 Slackers at the half. The half time show featured draws for firepits, food and re- freshments, and a field goal kicking contest for prizes. The Wardroom almost scored their first points of the game after halftime, as a kickoff was re- turned by A/SLt Jaidon Freeland. He appeared to be free and clear, but was tackled from behind by kicker Paterson to save the touch- down. A/SLt Freeland kicked a 38 yard field goal a few plays later to make the score 10-3. Kudos should be paid to the NCM offensive line though, who were thrown together at the last second, consisting of three de- fensive players, a vet, and a coach. Sometimes QB Latter had as much as 10 seconds to survey the field in the pocket. The Wardroom made adjust- ments to keep the NCMs, and specifically LS Blakata from sweeping to the outside, his fa- vorite route through the years, by positioning their defensive ends very wide out to keep contain. The Slackers offensive coach PO1 (ret’d) Rob Jeannot countered by running the ball inside instead, getting large chunks of yardage inside. These adjustments culminated in a Latter to MS Mike Stainton TD pass before the third quarter expired, putting the NCMs up by 13. The fourth quarter was dom- inated by the defences, led by OLB LS Lyndon Eustache, who got two interceptions and a sack NOW OPEN in the frame, and LCdr Vick Armes, who consistently applied pressure on the outside. Attack- ing the sweeps from the outside was very effective for the Ward- room, but the Slackers used this aggression to their advantage in For more information regarding ice rentals, the 4th quarter, by having Blakata throw a sweep option toss to a wide open MS Will Cain for a events or our programs, please visit score.
