n the Halifax Harbour in early October, 2018, hundreds of
shipyard workers, navy members, shipbuilders and digni-
taries gathered at the Irving Shipyard to christen HMCS
Harry DeWolf.
Following Royal Canadian Navy traditions, Sophie Grégoire
Trudeau was given the honour of breaking a bottle of cham-
pagne against the ship’s 103-metre long bow,
presiding over the official naming of
Canada's first Arctic and offshore
patrol ship, praising it for providing
“capabilities that will benefit Cana-
dians and the world.”
