One year ago, #HMCSMargaretBrooke pulled into #NuukGreenland for a weekend stay. #OpNanook22

For #OpNanook22, #HMCSMargaretBrooke embarked a combined Canadian/US medical team who participated in the exercise. One year ago today, they were dropped off in Iqualuit to fly home. #warshipsifr #militaryphotography #militarymedics

One year ago, I was climbing into a zodiac at sea and going for a tour of #HDMSTriton during #OpNanook22. The Danes were exceptionally good hosts during our visit before returning us to #HMCSMargaretBrooke. #navyphotography #shipphotography #maritimephotography #royalcanadiannavy #royaldanishnavy

With Op Nanook 2023 about to kick off, here’s a look back on Op Nanook 2022: Commander Nicole Robichaud silhouetted against the reflection of the late day sun while on the bridge of #HMCSMargaretBrooke. #silhouette #navyphotography #cangeo #royalcanadiannavy

In honour of International Women’s Day, here are just some of the exceptional women serving in #HMCSMargaretBrooke during my time onboard for #OpNanook22. #internationalwomensday #readyayeready

My highlight of 2022 will be my trip north with #HMCSMargaretBrooke, but the year was also eventful in other ways, in which I wore a lot of different hats (both literally & figuratively) and I won’t miss that stress one little bit. I wish everyone a bright and hopeful 2023! #yearinreview2022 #selfies #sea #hatsofmastodon #ship

I have mostly self-embargoed my photos of personnel and equipment from my time onboard #HMCSMargaretBrooke until the entire article comes out in #WarshipsIFR, but hey, it’s the holiday season. These pics show our return to the ship from our visit to #HDMSTriton. You feel quite small being this far from the ship in a small boat. #warship #aopv #shipphotography #ship #shipping #RoyalCanadianNavy #arctic #canada #sea #photography

The January issue of #WarshipsIFR is due to be released in the UK next week and includes Part 2 of my article on #OpNanook and my trip north in #HMCSMargaretBrooke. Parts 3 and 4 will follow in the February and March issues. The December issue with Part 1 should appear on Canadian shelves in the coming weeks. #navy #royalcanadiannavy #warships

The December issue of #WarshipsIFR contains Part 1 of my article - with photos! - about heading north in August with #HMCSMargaretBrooke, the second of the #RoyalCanadianNavy’s Arctic/Offshore Patrol Vessels, along with my coverage of the visit to Halifax of #USSGeraldRFord. I’m looking forward to seeing both in print!
