RN and RCN fleets on exercise in 57.  When we had a real good sized fleet, hope you enjoy it as well.  Video link

Very cool !

Some of the tugs in Halifax Harbour (the St-Anthony included) were still in service when I retired in 2001.

Kind of funny hearing a Squid ASW system described as "a powerful antisubmarine weapon".

I am amazed that the Canadian officer was able to keep his lid on while being hoisted into the helicopter. Must of had it on locked!

Ahh, the good old days...of conducting air/helo ops, RAS and weapon firing in nothing but your boots and swim trunks!  How times have changed.    :nod:

Great video1
