HMCS Ville de Quebec

HMCS VILLE DE QUEBEC spend Tuesday night at anchor in Halifax Harbour, before heading out again on Wednesday morning. These photos start with the anchor hoisted, and the crew washing mud from the harbour bottom off the anchor and chain.














The black line running down the hull ahead of the bridge is the wash water from cleaning the anchor and chain.













The mats hanging at various locations from the rail and above the bridge are radar absorbent material placed in front of fittings that produce large radar returns - they are intended to reduce the overall Radar Cross Section (RCS) of the ship.
