Brilliant choice of a proven great leader. Tough giving up the view in Alameda for DC however... Congratulations Admiral!

VADM Linda Fagan has been nominated by @WhiteHouse to be next Vice Commandant of the #USCG. She's scheduled to relieve @VComdtUSCG Charles Ray in June 2021. Fagan is the USCG's first-ever Gold Ancient Trident and, if confirmed, will be the service's first female 4-Star admiral.

Our new sign is now up on the new Consolidated Seamanship Training Facility (CSTF). Facing Gottingen Street, it proudly gives a nod to the founding of the RCN, our most formative years in WWII, and our present - with appropriate ship silhouette and period images. BZ – at Halifax, Nova Scotia
