I'll put forth an offering with perhaps a slightly different take on patriotism...

This is the Canadian destroyer HMCS Iriquois in Mediterranean, enroute the Persian Gulf in May of this year.



This image shows the Canadian destroyer HMCS Iriquois leading Nato Fleet STANAVFORMED (Standing Naval Force Mediterranean) with Canadian frigate HMCS Calgary astern.



Edited to add: Apologies for the image size, however due to bandwidth and other Internet access restrictions, I'm not able to re-size them. If this is a problem, I'll happly convert them to links.
