There wasn't a huge amount of civil traffic in the harbour during my ferry rides this morning, however, I did see a fair number of naval movements. Photos arranged by day:
Tuesday:
 |
| HMCS CHARLOTTETOWN (FFH 339). |
On Tuesday morning, HMCS CHARLOTTETOWN returned from standing by CCGS Ann Harvey off the south shore of Newfoundland. She returned to snow.
 |
| Glenbrook, MONTREAL, PRESERVER, and a Ville class tug. |
HMCS MONTREAL was refuelling alongside PRESERVER, before being cold moved away.
 |
| CHARLOTTETOWN and MONTREAL. |
CHARLOTTETOWN headed into the basin during MONTREAL's cold move.
 |
| Atlantic Companion |
Atlantic Companion arrived and headed to Fairview Cove the terminal during the afternoon.
Wednesday:
 |
| HMCS ST. JOHN'S in dockyard hands, completing her refit. |
On Wednesday, HMCS ST. JOHN'S had an interesting arrangement of scaffolding and tarps on the foc'st'le. I don't think I have seen this before during the FELEX refit process.
 |
| Atlantic Tern |
The rig supplier Atlantic Tern headed into Basin, but soon headed back out again.
 |
| CH-148 Cyclone |
A Cyclone passed over, heading south. Interestingly, this airframe has had the civilian registration removed, and now only bears the military airframe numbers. The last time I photographed a Cyclone, it still had the civilian registry number painted on the sponson. Now there is a Canada logo.
Thursday:
 |
| Tanker East Coast at anchor. |
Friday:
This morning, MONTREAL and HALIFAX both returned from the sea.
 |
| HMCS HALIFAX in the background of the George's Island lighthouse. |
Too far away for a good shot, HALIFAX still had some speed on in this photo.
 |
| HMCS HALIFAX. |
Closer now, HALIFAX had slowed down to harbour speed.
 |
| HALIFAX and Chebucto Pilot heading into the Eastern Passage. |
HALIFAX didn't proceed up into the main harbour, and instead headed over to Shearwater.
 |
| Personnel transfer from HMCS MONTREAL. |
MONTREAL transferred some personnel to the Dockyard via a ladder and a RHIB, before she headed into the narrows.

| MONTREAL headed into the narrows. |
