One of Canada’s new navy ships stopped in Hawaii after taking on water
OTTAWA — One of the country’s newest navy ships is tied up in a U.S. port after it took on 20,000 litres of water because of a leak.
HMCS Max Bernays is one of Canada’s new Arctic and offshore patrol ships, built in Halifax by Irving Shipyards.
It was taking part in an international exercise called the Rim of the Pacific Exercise when the incident happened July 12.
A Defence Department spokesperson said a valve and pump in one of the ship’s seawater cooling systems was leaking for about half an hour.
