First Canadian woman to command warship takes helm
Cmdr. Josée Kurtz has officially taken charge of the warship HMCS Halifax, the first time that a Canadian woman has led a major warship.

Kurtz assumed command as the 11th Commanding Officer of Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Halifax on Tuesday morning during a change-of-command ceremony on board the ship.

Bit overdue, but still good to hear.
