As we progress through the summer, we are approaching major milestones for the future HMCS Robert Hampton Gray. In August, AOPS 6 will embark on sea trials, followed by the official naming ceremony prior to delivery of the final AOPS for the @RoyalCanNavy later this summer.

Today, we joined the stern mega block & center mega block for the future CCGS Donjek inside our Module Hall, forming a grand block. This is the first time a grand block has been joined in the Hall, enabling our team to begin work across the grand block join earlier in the build.

Today we celebrate the people, pride, and purpose that make our country strong. Hear from members of our team who are building the future of our fleet & why they’re proud to build ships for Canada. Thank you to those working to shape a stronger, safer, and more resilient Canada.

HMCS Frédérick Rolette has been commissioned into service. Our team of 2,400 shipbuilders is proud to have built and delivered this great ship for those who serve. @RoyalCanNavy

A key block of the future CCGS Donjek is now in the Module Hall with a fresh coat of paint. Block 240 is a defining block of the future stern mega block for the first Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship proudly built for the Canadian Coast Guard. @CoastGuardCAN

Ships for Canada, built by Canadians. Progress steadily continues on the future CCGS Donjek, the first Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship for the @CoastGuardCAN.

We are thrilled to welcome 22 new shipbuilders from 10 universities and colleges from across Canada to our team this summer. This cohort of students will bring new ideas and fresh energy to our team of 2,400 shipbuilders.

Made by Canadians, for Canada. A freshly painted unit has reached the Module Hall at Halifax Shipyard as the future CCGS Donjek steadily progresses. The first Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship for the @CoastGuardCAN will be rolled to land level and formed later this year.

Recently, a large, prefabricated insert and mezz deck was transported from Marine Fabricators to Halifax Shipyard and then hoisted over and placed onto HMCS Halifax. Well done to all involved in this effort!
