From May 2-13 in the choppy waters just west of Vancouver Island, a host of Canadian and American military assets partici- pated in the annual Trident Fury task group exercise. With the exercise’s main goal to advance Canada’s ability to respond to offshore threats and unlawful acts from within a coalition environment, HMC Ships Nanaimo, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Ottawa, Algonquin, Protecteur, Brandon, and Whitehorse were supported by the submarine HMCS Corner Brook, as well as Sea King helicopters from 443 Maritime TRIDENT Helicopter Squadron and a few CF-18 Hornets from nearby CFB Comox. Trident Fury also aims to strengthen the communication and coordination of coalition forces during an international operation, which is why the participation of American assets FURY was also welcomed. Led by Guided Missile Cruiser USS Lake Erie, American assets also included USCGC Orcas, a coast guard vessel, USS Warrior, a mine countermeasure ship, and MH-53 Sea Dragons, minesweeping helicopters. Together the coalition convoy drilled their crews in a variety of taskings including boarding exercises, hailing exercises, live-fire exercises, anti-submarine exercises, mine countermeasures, and much more. 10 • LOOKOUT May 16, 2011
