Aujourd'hui, la Marine royale canadienne (MRC) a officiellement accueilli le Navire canadien de Sa Majesté (NCSM) Margaret Brooke dans le service naval lors d'une cérémonie de mise en service. Cette cérémonie marque une réalisation importante tant pour la MRC que pour l'industrie canadienne de la construction navale. La mise en place d'un deuxième navire de patrouille extracôtier et de l'Arctique (NPEA) remis dans le cadre de la Stratégie nationale de construction navale, qui maintient des milliers d'emplois chaque année au Canada, améliorera la capacité de la MRC de renforcer la souveraineté et de relever les futurs défis de défense dans les eaux extracôtières et arctiques du Canada. Une cérémonie de mise en service de navire est une tradition navale de longue date et une activité spéciale pour l'équipage du navire – de fiers marins qui reviennent tout juste du premier déploiement du navire où ils ont aidé des collectivités du Canada atlantique touchées par l'ouragan Fiona. La mise en service du NCSM Margaret Brooke comprenait la remise symbolique de la flamme de mise en service, et la remise symbolique des « clés de navire » au commandant, la capitaine de frégate Nicole Robichaud. https://www.canada.ca/fr/ministere-defense-nationale/nouvelles/2022/10/le-navire-canadien-de-sa-majestemargaret-brooke-est-mis-en-service.html
