A few official images from the Palace of HRH, the Princess Royal’s recent visit to BC, with a nice image of MAX (HRH embarked) passing under the Lions Gate Bridge. It was wonderful hosting our Commodore-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet for the Commissioning of HMCS MAX BERNAYS.

The Commander of our Navy is playing World of Warships during a live stream from the Flight Deck of #hmcsvancouver - rumour has it there was a grounding and sinking involved in the first game … but I can’t confirm whether it’s was the good or bad side.

The HMCS Edmonton Canadian Armed Forces coastal defence vessel is proudly flying our flag! The ship's captain, Lieutenant-Commander Leslie Gunderson, is fittingly from Edmonton & even has an #Oilers tattoo.

Not necessarily how a major world power who follows the Rules Based International Order should act….this is what a “disruptive power” does that is using force to get what it wants, and ignores international law and court judgements it doesn’t like.
