| HMCS Yellowknife was hosting public tours over the weekend at the Seal Cove Coast Guard Base |
A weekend visit of the Royal Canadian Navy's HMCS Yellowknife brought out the curious as residents of the North Coast took advantage of mostly fair weather to check out the Kingston Class Coastal Defence vessel that was berthed at the Seal Cove Coast Guard Based.
The crew of the HMCS Yellowknife welcomed visitors aboard on both Saturday and Sunday and among those to stop by for a tour were members of the Captain Cook Sea Cadets, their hall just across the bridge from Seal Cove.
In an update from the Sea Cadets, they noted of some of the themes for their tour from Lt(N) Hussein El Sedawy of HMCS Yellowknife.Among some of their highlights a tour of the engine room on the vessel, they also leraned more about navigation, fire suppression, flags, bosun's pipe, weapon systems, and many more besides.
Cadets learned of the broad range of trades aboard Canada's Navy ships and heard of some of the fascinating voyages undertaken by the 55.3 m vessel, including multi-service exercises in the tropical eastern Pacific.
Some of their snapshots of the tour can be viewed below:
