HMCS Toronto receives US Navy Meritorious Unit Award
HMCS Toronto has received the US Navy Meritorious Unit Award for services in Combined Task Force 150 during 2013 ( »combinedmaritimeforces.c ··· ecurity/ )
This is only the 5th time in 45 years that this award has been given to a non-US Navy unit.
Its impressive when you consider that at any given day of the week the US Navy has many more ships in active service throughout the world: »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li ··· tes_Navy
That makes sense. All Navy personnel who may server aboard ships train at damage control and fire school. That was a dirty mess doing it in the summer. Except for the damage control part where they pump water from the bay into the ship mock ups. That was just cold.
