HMCS Moncton was at anchor on Friday morning when I took the ferry across, and shortly started up her engines and headed out on the Halifax side of George's Island. I suspect she was headed out to escort in a USN submarine that arrived later than morning.
Moncton is painted in a commemorative Second World War camouflage pattern similar to that worn by various Flower-class corvettes during that war.
The sun had just come up before the ship headed out, and so most of my photos are backlit. If you look carefully, you can see CCGS Kopit Hopson 1752 in the background - she was underway from Irving's facilities at Woodside, and I suspect she swung her compass on the other side of George's Island from where I was standing.
