Coming home for the holidays is always special, especially for the Canadians on the HMCS Ottawa and HMCS Vancouver.
After four months away, the two vessels, along with Motor Vessel (MV) Asterix, returned to B.C.’s CFB Esquimalt on Dec. 18. Awaiting their arrival were friends, family, warm messages, happy tears, hugs and even Christmas carols to help get them in the holiday spirit.
