(Version anglaise seulement)
HMCS Winnipeg officially wrapped up a nine-week counter-piracy mission in the Gulf of Aden over the weekend and should be home in British Columbia by late August.

The Canadian frigate left its home port in Esquimalt, B.C. in early February bound for 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.
