Lt(N) Lyann Murdock-Finegold, HMCS Winnipeg — On April 4, HMCS Winnipeg held a Change of Command Ceremony.

The crew thanked Commander (Cdr) Annick Fortin for her tireless work during the past year as Winnipeg’s captain and welcomed Cdr Vincent Pellerin to the helm.

Cdr Fortin expressed her gratitude to the ship’s company for empowering each other and looking after one another to enable Winnipeg’s force employment and force generation.

Knowing that HMCS Winnipeg will be the first experience with sailing for many new members entering the Royal Canadian Navy, Cdr Vincent Pellerin is looking forward to training new young sailors and vows to support Winnipeg and the crew in all respects continuously.
