  • CMS 330 Brochure
    Combat Management System 330 (CMS 330) CMS 330 was developed as a result of 30+ years’ experience and knowledge of Canadian and NATO naval operations. In 2008, Lockheed Martin Canada was selected to design this system as part of Canada’s HALIFAX Class Modernization project. CMS 330 provides the Royal Canadian Navy with the operational ability to carry out multi-mission operations while defending its ships in an ever-evolving, threat environment. The system was also designed as a modern, affordable solution for mid-life upgrades in the international market. A Trusted Solution for Demanding and Complex Surface Ship Missions Open Architecture and ITAR-Free A Fielded and Trusted Solution An affordable and flexible solution CMS 330 is not only proving itself on Canada’s HALIFAX Class with low life-cycle costs, CMS 330 is an Frigates, but it is also the backbone of the technical solution for open-architecture based system which the Royal New Zealand Navy’s ANZAC Frigate System Upgrade, adapts to a variety of subsystems, as well as the command and surveillance management system reducing risk and ensuring delivery for Canada’s new Arctic O-Shore Patrol Ships (AOPS). of unique customer requirements. Benefitting from an active production line, future customers An ITAR-free CMS design allows the will have a ready, continually maturing solution with access international customer to manage and to existing engineering designs and full requirements exploit its full range of capabilities and analysis. This keeps non-recurring engineering costs at an advantages without restriction. absolute minimum. Ease of Implementation, Integration and Maintainability CMS 330 is designed as a Service Oriented Architecture CMS 330 can be scaled for platforms with different system (SOA) based on the Data Distribution System (DDS) limits, operator consoles, and subsystems without major standard, making subsystem weapons and sensor rework to the entire system.

    Volume VII, No. 69 ~ Winter 2014-2015 Starshell ‘A little light on what’s going on!’ CANADA IS A MARITIME NATION A maritime nation must take steps to protect and further its interests, both in home waters and with friends in distant waters. Canada therefore needs a robust and multipurpose Royal Canadian Navy. National Magazine of The Naval Association of Canada Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada www.navalassoc.ca On our cover… To date, the Royal Canadian Navy’s only purpose-built, ice-capable Arctic Patrol Vessel, HMCS Labrador, commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy July 8th, 1954, ‘poses’ in her frozen natural element, date unknown. She was a state-of-the- Starshell art diesel electric icebreaker similar in design to the US Coast Guard’s Wind-class ISSN-1191-1166 icebreakers, however, was modified to include a suite of scientific instruments so it could serve as an exploration vessel rather than a warship like the American Coast National magazine of The Naval Association of Canada Guard vessels. She was the first ship to circumnavigate North America when, in Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada 1954, she transited the Northwest Passage and returned to Halifax through the Panama Canal. When DND decided to reduce spending by cancelling the Arctic patrols, Labrador was transferred to the Department of Transport becoming the www.navalassoc.ca CGSS Labrador until being paid off and sold for scrap in 1987.

  • Frederick J. Krabbé, Last Man to See HMS Investigator Afloat, May 1854
    The Journal of the Hakluyt Society January 2017 Frederick J. Krabbé, last man to see HMS Investigator afloat, May 1854 William Barr1 and Glenn M. Stein2 Abstract Having ‘served his apprenticeship’ as Second Master on board HMS Assistance during Captain Horatio Austin’s expedition in search of the missing Franklin expedition in 1850–51, whereby he had made two quite impressive sledge trips, in the spring of 1852 Frederick John Krabbé was selected by Captain Leopold McClintock to serve under him as Master (navigation officer) on board the steam tender HMS Intrepid, part of Captain Sir Edward Belcher’s squadron, again searching for the Franklin expedition. After two winterings, the second off Cape Cockburn, southwest Bathurst Island, Krabbé was chosen by Captain Henry Kellett to lead a sledging party west to Mercy Bay, Banks Island, to check on the condition of HMS Investigator, abandoned by Commander Robert M’Clure, his officers and men, in the previous spring. Krabbé executed these orders and was thus the last person to see Investigator afloat. Since, following Belcher’s orders, Kellett had abandoned HMS Resolute and Intrepid, rather than their return journey ending near Cape Cockburn, Krabbé and his men had to continue for a further 140 nautical miles (260 km) to Beechey Island. This made the total length of their sledge trip 863½ nautical miles (1589 km), one of the longest man- hauled sledge trips in the history of the Arctic. Introduction On 22 July 2010 a party from the underwater archaeology division of Parks Canada flew into Mercy Bay in Aulavik National Park, on Banks Island, Northwest Territories – its mission to try to locate HMS Investigator, abandoned here by Commander Robert McClure in 1853.3 Two days later underwater archaeologists Ryan Harris and Jonathan Moore took to the water in a Zodiac to search the bay, towing a side-scan sonar towfish.
