Ted Zuber's print shows the Canadian destroyer HMCS Terra Nova following a replenishment at sea (RAS) from the supply ship HMCS Protecteur.

Protecteur, designed and built to resupply Canadian warships, formed part of Canada's three-ship detachment in the Persian Gulf. As the only such replenishment vessel in the central Persian Gulf, it also resupplied ships from other countries taking part in the coalition that ultimately forced Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. A mounting (right) holds Javelin surface-to-air missiles, part of Protecteur's defences that were upgraded for its Persian Gulf deployment.
