After a six month deployment and taking on an important role in the New Zealand earthquake relief effort, the HMCS Vancouver is back home at CFB Esquimalt.
The HMCS Vancouver was on a 6 month tour in the Pacific region.
The warship was redeployed from maneuvers to help with the 7.8 magnitude earthquake which struck New Zealand's South Island on Nov. 14.
National Defence says the HMCS Vancouver played a key role in supporting the relief efforts, helping to repair damaged infrastructure and transport emergency supplies using the ship's Sea King helicopter.
