November 2014 - EDITED Ferries and "Defense" Vessels

[SolDuc]

At first I thought that I had nothing to meet the criteria, but I had a good look around my flickr stream to check in case I had any, and with the coast guard included I found a reasonable 3 suggestions.

#1 - The Tokitae (right) and Samish (left) under construction at Vigor, with a US Army vessel sandwiched between the two:

US Army?! Better hope no US Navy sailors saw that! She's the Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer DDG 92 USS Momsen, to be exact.

The little boats accompanying the Queen of the North in this photo are police and or harbour patrol vessels.  I believe that this photo meets the revised criteria for the November flag ship theme.

Queen of the North & Expo 86 - 1 May 1986.  The Prince & Princess of Wales (Charles & Dianna) were aboard, heading for the official opening of Expo 86.  Captain James Butterfield (ex RCN) was in command of the ship, which was accompanied by police & harbour patrol vessels.  It is shown here approaching the entrance to Vancouver Harbour at First Narrows.

The deadline for submissions was going to be noon tomorrow, but I'll extend it until 20:00 (8PM) in case there are any last minute entries. The poll will be set up shortly thereafter.
