Harry Dewolf Launch this Week
the future HMCS Harry Dewolf had had the tarps taken down and is the correct shade of grey, with black boot topping and red below the waterline. some touch ups remain, but the SPMT transporters look ready to go to move the ship onto the Launching Barge.
I hear the launch is targeted for the 14th or 15th.
