This is an Oberon-class sub, built at the Chatham Dockyard in England, commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy in 1965 and decommissioned in 1998. The lead tug was the LAC MANITOBA; the rear tug was the SEAHOUND, and the barge was the HM 8. McKeil Marine and Heddle Marine coordinated and organized the move.
