TRANSCRIPT
On behalf of Maritime Forces Pacific and Joint Task Force Pacific, it is my great pleasure to welcome the Captain and crew of United States Ship (USS) Nimitz to Victoria.The Royal Canadian Navy and the United States Navy enjoy a tremendous and important friendship that dates back to our origins. Our navies have the highest level of interoperability and we have worked ‘side by side’ in operations and training to ensure peace and security at home and abroad. Your visit to Victoria highlights this strong and mutually respectful relationship. It is also a testament to the importance of the strategic partnership between our two countries; one that is long-standing, well-entrenched and highly successful.
My wife, Brenda, and I join in wishing you and your families a relaxing visit in this great Navy town of Victoria, and hope that you will enjoy your time here. I know that the citizens of Victoria are honoured by your presence and stand ready to assist you during your stay.Enjoy!
Yours Aye,Rear-Admiral Bill Truelove

I would like to thank the people of Victoria for hosting Nimitz and her crew for what I know will be an unforgettable weekend.On Nimitz, our motto is, “Teamwork—a tradition.” I can think of no better way to describe the relationship between our two countries.Visits like this one go a long way in reinforcing the friendship our nations have built over generations. It is a friendship that has enabled us to keep our oceans safe and respond as a team to meet any challenge.Over these three days, the crew and I look forward to meeting with you and getting involved with your communities through a variety of events. The bonds we build over these days will only help make a stronger, more effective partnership between America and Canada.
