HMCS Winnipeg officially wrapped up a nine-week counter-piracy mission Saturday in the Gulf of Aden, and should be home in British Columbia by summer’s end.

The Canadian warship left its home port in Esquimalt, B.C. in early February bound for the waters off the coast of Somalia. The Winnipeg intercepted a number of attacks and safely escorted merchant ships during the mission.

The ship’s crew also boarded half a dozen suspected pirate vessels, seizing weapons, ammunition and rocket-propelled grenade launchers in some cases.

The NATO mission was originally set to wrap up at the end of April, but Defence Minister Peter MacKay extended it into June.

HMCS Winnipeg is set to return to Esquimalt in late August.
