After many years of trying to get on board a Canadian warship.  Well the big Day has arrived.  I finally got to do a training evolution on a Canadian warship.  What  a great time I had and a great learning experience I had during my 5 days aboard the HMCS HALIFAX (FFH330).  I want to thank the Captain and his great crew for a most memorable time.

     The Cooks aboard the ship are very hard working and produced some really great meal products all freshly prepared.  Like the US Navy the cooks do not just cook, but have other collateral duties which makes their job even that much harder.  I became a part of the ships' company. 

    I took part in  the man overboard drill and I got to relax with the Crew after a long day in the galley. We as Canadians should be very proud of our men and woman of our Navy.  The long under ways away from their loved ones. The constant drills for perfection.  I was really impressed by the high quality of food served aboard the HMCS HALIFAX. 

     Talking with the cooks about how this type of food is served Navy wide I was so very pleased and proud to have experience life aboard a Canadian warship.  I can assure you it will not be last time.
