For 100 years, submarines — and subma- riners — have been our navy’s special forces. Those who operate and those who sustain this superb weapons system are unique in maritime service. Today we find ourselves at an interest- ing and challenging time of our transition, not just for our submarine service, but in- deed, for the entire Royal Canadian Navy. This transition includes, as many of you know, the recent announcement of the retire- ment of four of our most venerable and op- erational ships, who have reached the end of their operational lives. On the horizon, we see the completion of the Halifax-class Modernization Program, the introduction of service of three new classes of ships, and an enhanced maritime air capabil- HMCS Victoria SSK 876, transits in the vicinity of Esquimalt during sea training trials and exer- ity in the Cyclone and Aurora aircraft.

This is why our partnerships across the spectrum, but in particular with industry, are so crucially important when it comes to this platform. Later this year, HMCS Chicoutimi will come out of her Extended Docking Work Pe- riod—EDWP—and rejoin the fleet. She’s at sea now, and that’s a great thing. Chicoutimi’s was the first EDWP conduct- ed by industry under the Victoria In-Service Support Contract with Victoria Shipyards. The successful near-completion of Chi- coutimi’s long road back has not only been enabled by the skills and talent of our subma- rine community, but also by the relationships forged with industry. These partnerships en- abled the establishment of new supply chains for these subs, and the integrated logistics to sustain these complex weapons systems. Transferring the skills and knowledge needed to conduct the deep maintenance of our Victoria-class was a strategic outcome in its own right. And it’s one that will reap significant benefits in the years to come as HMCS Chicoutimi SSK 879, departed CFB Esquimalt for a month of trials and evaluations on industry learns from each extended dock- September 28th.

Garry E. Hall as commander of Combined Task Force (CTF) 158 during a ceremony at Naval Support Activity Bahrain Sept. 27. Command of CTF 158 typically rotates among coalition partners Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. CTF 158 is comprised of coalition ships and its primary mission in the Persian Gulf is Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in and around both the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminals (ABOT and KAAOT, respectively), in support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1723. This resolution charges the multinational force with the responsibility and authority to maintain security and stability in Iraqi territorial waters and also supports the Iraqi government's request for security support. Additionally, under the training and leadership of CTF 158, Iraqi marines aboard ABOT and KAAOT train with the coalition in order to eventually assume responsibility for security. “I am honored to have been in command of this task force,” said Hall. “The coalition forces have done an excellent job of providing security to the oil platforms and training the Iraqi forces.” “I am very proud of the coalition forces and my staff in supporting the CTF 158 mission,” said Capt.

  • River-Class Frigates Background
    River-class frigates background The River-class frigate was designed by William Reed of Smith's Dock Company of South Bank-on-Tees. Originally called a "twin-screw corvette", its purpose was to improve on the convoy escort classes in service with the Royal Navy at the time, including the Flower-class corvette. The first orders were placed by the Royal Navy in 1940 and the vessels were named for rivers in the United Kingdom, giving name to the class. In Canada they were named for towns and cities though they kept the same designation. The name "frigate" was suggested by Vice-Admiral Percy Nelles of the Royal Canadian Navy and was adopted later that year. Improvements over the corvette design included improved accommodation which was markedly better. The twin engines gave only three more knots of speed but extended the range of the ship to nearly double that of a corvette at 7,200 nautical miles (13,300 km) at 12 knots. Among other lessons applied to the design was an armament package better designed to combat U-boats including a twin 4-inch mount forward and 12-pounder aft. 15 Canadian frigates were initially fitted with a single 4-inch gun forward but with the exception of the HMCS Valleyfield , they were all eventually upgraded to the double mount. For underwater targets, the River-class frigate was equipped with a Hedgehog anti-submarine mortar and depth charge rails aft and four side-mounted throwers. River-class frigates were the first Royal Canadian Navy warships to carry the 147B Sword horizontal fan echo sonar transmitter in addition to the irregular ASDIC.

Cat. No. V32-84/2005 ISBN 0-662-69036-2 Printed in Canada The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including on-line learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits.
