On June 10, 2021, Her Majesty’s Canadian Submarine (HMCS) Corner Brook began the undocking process in Esquimalt, B.C. after having completed the dry-dock stage of its Extended Docking Work Period (EDWP) in the care and custody of Babcock Canada.

The process saw the submarine move from the Purpose Built Repair Facility (PBRF) at the Esquimalt Graving Dock (EGD) to be positioned on lift barge Seaspan Careen. A complex evolution that occurred over several hours, it is a testament to the incredible work and cooperation required from a number of stakeholders across government and industry, all of whom played an important role in getting this strategic asset closer to being fully operational.

The next step in the undocking process will see Corner Brook transported to Ogden Point in Victoria, B.C. where it will be floated, marking its official return to the water.
