Sailor of the Second Quarter revolutionizes shipboard living

A groundbreaking initiative by HMCS Ottawa Marine Systems Engineer (MSE) has set a new benchmark for quality-of-life improvements on Canadian warships.

Sailor 1st Class (S1) Michael Fung led a project to install nearly 200 120-volt power outlets in Ottawa’s Non-Commissioned Members’ mess decks. The initiative has earned him recognition as the Canadian Fleet Pacific Sailor of the Second Quarter.

“It’s an honour to get this recognition,” said S1 Fung. “As much as I love being the ‘gray man’, it’s important all the work our MSEs put in is recognized.”
