Help had arrived on location.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After six days of towing by USS Michael Murphy, USS Chosin and USNS Sioux, <i>Protecteur<\/i> was brought alongside Pearl Harbor. The efforts of Michael Murphy earned them a CAF Unit Commendation for their immediate response to <i>Protecteur<\/i> and the family members embarked. Four years later, during Exercise KAKADU 2018 off the coast of Australia, five of the former crewmembers from the <i>Protecteur<\/i> fire are supporting replenishment at sea (RAS) operations to refuel USS Michael Murphy from <i>Protecteur\u2019s<\/i> replacement, MV Asterix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When I was told that we would be transferring fuel to USS Michael Murphy during Ex Kakadu 2018, fond memories came back of the amazing support the American destroyer provided to us after the fire onboard <i>Protecteur<\/i>. Without hesitation, they sent over water, Gatorade and medical support. They even took care of our loved ones as they received 17 civilian family members that had embarked as part of a morale and outreach building tiger cruise. They expressed later that they were treated like family onboard the American destroyer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On September 08, the five members of Naval Replenishment Unit Asterix, MS Bertrand Robillard, MS Andrew Clark, LS Robert Lalonde, LS Iain Gozzola, and I, were all at our stations during the RAS, supporting the ship that had supported them during those harrowing days. It was now the former crew\u2019s turn to provide a service to the USS Michael Murphy. LCdr James Classen, CO NRU Asterix, was the first to welcome the Michael Murphy. He passed words of appreciation to the US crew over the radio while providing instructions to bring the ship into the RAS station. After over 200 cubic metres of fuel were transferred, all five former <i>Protecteur<\/i> crew members couldn\u2019t help to but smile and feel a sense of gratitude for the ship that shared a page of RCN history with them. It was an honour to be sailing again in company with USS Michael Murphy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On behalf of the former crew of <i>Protecteur <\/i>and the crew of MV Asterix, thank you again, USS Michael Murphy, for the service and support you provided to the sailors of the RCN. We strongly believe that your motto \u201cLead the Fight\u201d suits you well!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former sailors from HMCS Protecteur engine room fire
