Asterix sailed a total of 150,721 nautical miles, and conducted exercises, operations or port visits throughout the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, South China Sea, Arabian Sea, and the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These taskings were all carried out with a mixed crew of civilian mariners and RCN sailors from Naval Replenishment Unit (NRU) Asterix, led by Commanding Officer LCdr Trent Nichols, with crews rotating out partway through the deployment to allow the ship to remain at sea. The Halifax and Region MFRC hosted an event in Windsor Park to welcome back NRU Asterix members as they reunited with their families.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Asterix will now spend less than two weeks tied up at HMC Dockyard before sailing again to support RCN warships and NATO allies as part of CUTLASS FURY 19, and the ship is then expected to return to Davie Shipbuilding in Quebec for maintenance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe last year and half was the ultimate test for Asterix. Whether it was supporting the war against terrorism in the Arabian Sea as part of CTF150 or supporting the enforcement of sanctions on the Korean Peninsula, both the ship and its combined crew of Federal Fleet Services and Canadian Forces personnel performed flawlessly, \u201d said Spencer Fraser, CEO of Federal Fleet Services.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asterix back in Halifax after more than 500 days at sea By Trident Staff After nearly a year and a half at sea supporting Royal Canadian Navy ships and allies around the world, MV Asterix arrived back at its homeport of Halifax on August 26.
