    Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, accompanied by Michaelle John, governor-general of Canada, greets well-wishers in Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 28 following her arrival in the city to participate in the Canadian Naval Centennial and International Fleet Review Week festivities. Upon her arrival in Halifax, the queen and her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, were greeted by military personnel from some of the countries involved in the Centennial events, including Sailors and Marines from USS Wasp. Wasp is currently participating in the Canadian Naval Centennial and International Fleet Review Week that began on June 25 and concludes July 2. Wasp Sailors and Marines, including embarked Carrier Strike Group 2, Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 22, and 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines are participating in various cultural and sporting events during the visit aimed at strengthening relationships and the strong bilateral and multilateral ties shared between the Canadian navy and its allies.
