While joking that his exit marked the unfortunate end of the position being held by “Craigs from Saskatch- ewan” – referring to himself and his predecessor RAdm Craig Baines – he said he was happy to hand over the job to his longtime colleague, and expressed confidence in the strong leadership that now exists across the Cmdre Craig Skjerpen inspects members Formation, including other command of CANFLTLANT on parade for the last teams like Fifth Maritime Operations time as Fleet Commander on July 11.
