HMCS VICTORIA DOCKED AT CANADA PLACE

The HMCS Victoria is one of several Canadian navy vessels anchoring in Vancouver this weekend.

The long-range hunter-killer submarine will be docked at Canada Place until Sunday, along with the HMCS Algonquin, a destroyer.

While the Algonquin is open to the public, who can enter the ship and meet the crew, the Victoria is not. But you can take a tour in this video. You may copy and paste this link to your browser :
