According to the fishermen, they were left stranded in the water after 12 suspected Somali pirates hijacked their vessel. The fishermen also said that the pirates gave them an ultimatum to either jump overboard with only a wooden plank as a flotation device or be killed. Chosin medical personnel treated the fishermen and gave them food and water. Once the fishermen were deemed to be medically stable, Chosin transferred the fishermen to a Yemen Navy vessel.[9] • In April of 2013, Chosin passed its first ever Board of Inspection and Survey (InSurv) since its commissioning in 1992. • On April 30, 2013 Chosin departed her home port of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) for a scheduled Western Pacific deployment. While deployed, Chosin is scheduled to conduct theater security operations with partner nations while providing deterrence, promoting peace and security, preserving freedom of the seas and providing humanitarian assistance/disaster response.[10] [11] • In October 2013 participated in the International Fleet Review 2013 in Sydney, Australia. • In February 2014 "Chosin" dispatched supplies via helicopter to RCN ship HMCS Protecteur after a severe engine room fire left her dead in the water about 630km off the coast of Hawaii.

Calgary is the sixth vessel in her class and the second vessel to carry the designation HMCS Calgary. She was built as part of the Canadian Patrol Frigate Project. Calgary was laid down on 15 June 1991 by MIL Davie Shipbuilding at Lauzon and launched on 28 August 1992. She was commissioned into the Canadian Forces on 12 May 1995 and carries the hull classification symbol 335.[3] On 6 June 2011 Calgary was turned over to Seaspan Marine Corporation's Victoria Shipyards, to start an 18 month mid-life upgrading and modernization. Calgary was returned to the Royal Canadian Navy from Victoria Shipyards on 1 June 2012 and as of fall 2013 conducted sea acceptance trials. She is assigned to Maritime Forces Pacific (MARPAC) and is homeported at CFB Esquimalt.[4] Calgary serves on MARPAC missions protecting Canada's sovereignty in the Pacific Ocean and enforcing Canadian laws in its territorial sea and Exclusive Economic Zone. On 10 July 1995, Calgary was sent to the Persian Gulf as part of the force used to enforce sanctions on Iraq, her mission lasting until December of that year. While en route home, she assisted the sinking bulk carrier Mount Olympus. She rescued all 30 members of her crew, taking them to the freighter Rodopi.[3] HMCS Calgary deployed on Exercise "Tandem Thrust" in 1999. In 1999, while participating in the exercise "Tandem Thrust", Calgary suffered the breakdown of one of her diesel generators. The following year she redeployed to the Persian Gulf, once again as part of the group enforcing sanctions against Iraq.[3] Calgary participated in RIMPAC 2014 in June 2014, the first time that China will participate in the operation.[5] Name: Calgary Displacement: 3,995 tonnes (light) 4,795 tonnes (operational) Namesake: Calgary, Alberta 5,032 tonnes (deep load) Operator: Royal Canadian Navy Length: 134.2 m (440 ft) Builder: MIL Davie Shipbuilding, Lauzon Beam: 16.5 m (54 ft) Laid down: 15 June 1991 Draught: 7.1 m (23 ft) Launched: 28 August 1992 Propulsion: 2 × LM2500 Gas turbines Commissioned: 12 May 1995 1 × SEMT Pielstick Diesel engine Refit: HCM/FELEX June 2011-June 2012 Speed: 30 knots (56 km/h) Homeport: CFB Esquimalt Range: 9,500 nautical miles (17,600 km) Identification: pennant number: 335 Complement: 225 (including air detachment) Motto: "Onward" Armament: 24 × Honeywell Mk 46 torpedoes Honours and Atlantic 1942-1945, Biscay 1943, Normandy 1944, English Channel 1944-1945,16 × Evolved Sea-Sparrow SAM awards: North Sea 1945,[1] Arabian Sea [2] 8 × RGM-84 Harpoon SSM 1 × 57 mm Bofors Mk2 gun Fate: Active in service 1 × 20 mm Vulcan Phalanx CIWS Badge: Or, a bend wavy azure charged with a like bendlet argent.

Yellowknife is the seventh ship of her class which is the name for the Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel Project. She is the first vessel to use the designation Yellowknife in the Royal Canadian Navy..[1] Yellowknife was laid down on 7 November 1996 at Halifax Shipyards Ltd., Halifax and was launched on 5 June 1997. She was officially commissioned into the CF on 18 April 1998 and carries the pennant number 706. She is assigned to Maritime Forces Pacific (MARPAC) and is homeported at CFB Esquimalt. The Kingston-class coastal defence vessel was conceived to use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment and construction techniques in a ship designed to military specifications. The construction of the design required the building of partially outfitted steel block units, which were assembled into larger blocks and those blocks were integrated into the ship. The decks were assembled upside down with pre-outfitting of the underside of the deck prior to installation on the ship. The ship is outfitted with a degaussing system from Power Magnetics and Electronic Systems.[2] Kingston class vessels are designed to carry up to three 6.1-metre (20 ft) ISO containers with power hookups on the open deck aft in order to embark mission-specific payloads.[3] Armament and Sensors Kingston-class vessels are outfitted with a Bofors 40 mm 60 mk5C rapid fire gun, and two 12.7mm machine guns. The ships are equipped with one of three modular mine countermeasures systems: the deep sea Thales MMS mechanical mine sweeping system, the route survey system or the Sutec remotely operated vehicle (ROV) mine inspection system.[2] The navigation equipment installed in Kingston-class vessels are a Kelvin Hughes I-band navigation radar and a global positioning system. The surface search radar is the E to F-band Kelvin Hughes 6000.[2] Propulsion The ship is equipped with four main Wärtsilä UD 23V12 diesel engines which are coupled to four alternators (600 V AC). Two Jeumont electric motors (±740 V DC) provide power to the two LIPS Z-drive azimuth thrusters which are fitted with fixed-pitch reversing propellers. The propulsion system provides 15 knots (28 km/h) maximum continuous speed. The range at the economical cruising speed of 9 knots (17 km/h) using two engines is 5,000 nautical miles (9,000 km) with a 20% margin in tank capacity. Mechanical minesweeping is carried out at 8 knots (15 km/h). The crash stop length is five ship lengths from a speed of 15 knots (28 km/h).[2] Name: Yellowknife Propulsion: 2 × Jeumont DC electric motors 4 × 600VAC Wärtsilä SACM V12 diesel alternators Namesake:
