🎉An Honored Moment: Attending the Launch of HMCS Protecteur🎉
Duke had the incredible privilege of attending the official launch of HMCS Protecteur, Canada’s newest Joint Support Ship (JSS) at Seaspan ULC Vancouver Shipyards. This vessel represents a significant milestone for the Royal Canadian Navy | Marine royale canadienne, showcasing innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to bolstering maritime capabilities.
Witnessing this launch was not only inspiring but also a testament to the tireless dedication of the shipbuilders, engineers, and support staff who made it possible. Their unwavering commitment, long hours, and attention to detail ensured that this state-of-the-art vessel came to life. Their hard work deserves immense recognition.
The Protecteur—designed to provide critical at-sea support to our Navy—is a reflection of Canadian ingenuity and the power of teamwork. This launch reinforces the importance of strong maritime infrastructure for ensuring safety, security, and operational readiness both at home and abroad.
Thank you to all of the Duke staff involved over the years for your hard work and vision. It’s moments like these that remind us of what can be achieved when skilled professionals come together to achieve a common goal.
Fair winds and following seas to HMCS Protecteur and her future crew!
