Part 8/8:
From a somewhat naive sub-lieutenant to a valued officer aboard a formidable warship, the journey is a transformative one. The Columbia offers not just an opportunity to learn, but a robust sense of unity among its crew. In the end, the great and modern man-of-war proves to be more than a ship—it serves as a powerful ally to the men who serve aboard it. The pride that floods back to the newly minted officers is palpable as they acknowledge their growth and newfound commitment to their roles in the Royal Canadian Navy.
