HMCS MONTREAL was the last RCN surface ship to return from NATO exercises in Europe (Task Group Exercises, Joint Warrior, and Exercise At Sea Demonstration 2015). The RCN press release on the subject can be found here.

HMCS MONTREAL returning on Friday November 27, 2015.

HALIFAX, MONTREAL, and WINNIPEG have all been putting their upgrades from the FELEX refit to good use, with MONTREAL firing an Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) and HALIFAX demonstrating her newly added command and control facilities.

Some more photos of her return:
