HMCS Margaret Brooke has successfully completed Operation Projection, marking the end of a deployment to the South American, Antarctic, and Caribbean regions.

This mission, which began on January 10, was the first visit to Antarctica by a Royal Canadian Navy vessel, supporting the first all-Canadian scientific research expedition to the region.

During the deployment, HMCS Margaret Brooke built and enhanced international relationships, in cooperation with Global Affairs Canada, through multiple port visits and engagements with regional partners throughout South America and the Caribbean.

In Antarctica, the ship supported Canadian scientists in conducting vital research, showcasing Canada's commitment to understanding this unique polar environment.
