A Canadian Forces (CF) CH-113 Labrador search and rescue helicopter sits at its new home at the Canadian Aviation Museum prior to a ceremony marking the retirement of the helicopter fleet after 41 years of active service. The aircraft, Labrador 111301, was the first Labrador to enter service with the CF and the last to retire.

Fifteen CH-149 Cormorant helicopters were purchased in 1998 to replace Canada's fleet of Labrador helicopters. The Cormorant has already assumed its operational role as Canada's primary search and rescue helicopter.

Night falls at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, Bremerton, Wash., as work continues on the strategic missile submarine USS Ohio (SSGN 726). Ohio is one of four Trident Submarines undergoing conversion to a new class of guided missile submarines. The SSGN conversion program takes Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines through an extensive overhaul that will improve their capability to support and launch up to 154 Tomahawk missiles. They will also provide the capability to carry other payloads, such as unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Special Forces equipment. This new platform will also have the capability to carry and support more than 66 Navy SEALs (Sea, Air and Land) and insert them clandestinely into potential conflict areas.
