Great Lakes Deployment 2023

No firm information yet but look for:

HMCS ORIOLE during the last week of August;

HMCS GLACE BAY, fresh from an African and then Haitian deployment and participation in the search for the TITAN submersible, on the lakes all the way to Windsor but not scheduled for Hamilton this year, sometime in September; and

HMCS HARRY DEWOLF, first Canadian warship to circumnavigate North American since LABRADOR in 1954, in November prior to the Grey Cup.

Stay tuned.
