Question about Navy response to natural disasters

[Stoker]

Was talking to a few people in the know and found out one of the ships have one of those water bagger machines embarked. I guess they will lay off, make and bag water to send in.

 

[Pat in Halifax]

Was talking to someone on HALIFAX Friday and they were dropping off work parties and going out to "patrol" (aka make water). He didn't say anything about a bagger - could be ATHA-B. I guess Ottawa wouldn't lift the restriction. HALIFAX too has a schedule to keep for HCM/FELEX so just waiting to see who is relieving them - their tentative relief is 'broken' but may be back on their pins soon??
