The Government of Canada announced Friday that HMCS Winnipeg will be the fifth Canadian ship since 2006 to join the Standing NATO Maritime Group1 (SNMG1), this time in the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. SNMG1 is a multinational, integrated mari- time force consisting of vessels from the various Alliance nations, training and operating together as a single team. Winnipeg’s first mission will be to support Operation Allied Protector, the NATO approved plan for the deploy- ment of SNMG1 vessels to conduct counter-piracy opera- tions off the coast of Somalia. The ship will be part of a naval group consisting of five vessels from Canada, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United States. The frigate NRP Corte Real, of Portugal is the flagship of the fleet. Winnipeg’s deployment with SNMG1, conducted under Operation Sextant, gives Canada an opportunity to join a flexible, responsive international force, ready to execute any number of missions across a broad spectrum that includes exercises, crisis response, and maritime security operations. During this deployment, Winnipeg will also conduct diplo- matic calls in several Asia-Pacific countries. Commanded by Commander Craig Baines with a crew of approximately 240 officers and non-commissioned mem- bers, Winnipeg, based at Esquimalt, B.C., and her CH-124 Sea King detachment, form a highly ready and technologi- cally advanced warship. The ship, helicopter and crew are capable of performing a variety of missions worldwide. For more information on Operation Sextant, visit www. cefcom.forces.gc.ca/site/ops/index_e.asp.
