Today, HMCS Harry DeWolf, a Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) Arctic and offshore patrol vessel, departed Halifax, Nova Scotia, for a six-month deployment to the Eastern Pacific Ocean in support of counter-narcotics operations with the United States Navy and Coast Guard.
The deployment is part of Operation CARIBBE, a multinational effort to combat drug trafficking in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean. HMCS Harry DeWolf will work alongside US Navy and Coast Guard assets to intercept and seize illicit drugs and apprehend traffickers.
“This deployment is a testament to the strong partnership between Canada and the United States in the fight against drug trafficking,” said Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee, Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy. “HMCS Harry DeWolf and her crew are well-equipped and trained to carry out this important mission.”
HMCS Harry DeWolf is the lead ship of the Royal Canadian Navy’s Arctic and offshore patrol vessel class. She is equipped with advanced sensors, weapons systems, and can accommodate up to 65 crew members and a variety of specialized personnel.
The deployment will also provide an opportunity for HMCS Harry DeWolf to operate in a challenging and demanding environment. The Eastern Pacific Ocean is a vast and complex region, with varying weather conditions and oceanography.
