Cool.

I have the same birthdate as Sailor Steve. April 8th. However in 1963.

And like Sailor Steve, I'm a former sailor, served in the Canadian Navy from 1980-2005. I am also a "combat vet" having served aboard HMCS Terra Nova" during the first Gulf war 1991. I dont like the term combat vet because it sounds like I went trough the same thing as my grandfather in WW2.

I was born in Thunder Bay Ontario and now live in Toronto. Retired right now and living off my pension. It's kind of hard to do in a high cost city so I will either have to move or get a job soon. I think I will do both.

I was divorced in 1994 after being married for 2 years. No kids, but I do have two cats.

Right now I have no idea what I am going to do after spending all those years in the military. I miss it I guess.

Cheers Gildor, I see DDE 259 each morning on the ride in to school.

Last I heard she was in Halifax in mothball.

I think she should be made into a floating museum, like the Sackville. As far as i know the Terra Nova is the last of her kind.

Still, thanks for the info

Not sure if you know Halifax geography at all, but I believe she is parked on the Dartmouth side, right beside the Oberons.
