It certainly is. I remember doing unreps with this ship in the mid-80s. The ship I was on at the time was a newly commissioned FFG. It has since been decommissioned.

44 years old is not really all that old for a ship, particularly a supply ship. What’s really sad is that the Canadian Air Force is still flying Sea King helicopters that are even older than this.

My father did a few stints on a couple of these (Protecteur, Provider, Preserver) ships over the years, although I can’t remember for sure exactly which one. Preserver was retired some time ago, IIRC.
