Reading Time: < 1 minute

As HMCS Vancouver slices through the Pacific waves en route to San Diego, Sailor 1st Class (S1) Danny Dubeau stands vigilant in the ship’s engine room. His mission: to ensure the warship’s powerful gas turbine engines continue to perform at peak efficiency.

“We depend on our Marine Technicians to keep the ship functioning, moving, and safe,” says S1 Dubeau.

The twin gas turbine engines are the core of HMCS Vancouver, capable of pushing the vessel to speeds over 30 knots. Alongside these behemoths sits a more fuel-efficient propulsion diesel engine, used for long-distance cruising and optimal fuel consumption.
