A boisterous crowd of family, friends and co-workers were on hand in Dockyard last Friday as HMCS Vancouver returned from a four-month deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. From April 3 to June 25, Vancouver participated in Operation Projection, conducting forward naval presence operations and participating in several naval exercises with partner nations. Immediately afterwards Vancouver headed to Hawaii to take part in Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC), the world’s largest maritime military exercise.
