  • HMCS Calgary (FFH335)
    HMCS Calgary (FFH335) Commander Blair Saltel Commanding Officer Commander Blair Saltel was raised in Sioux Lookout, Ontario. Wishing to see more of Canada and the world, he was recruited into the Canadian Armed Forces in 1996 as a Maritime Surface (MARS) officer. He graduated from the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, ON with a Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering. His first ship was HMCS Toronto, where he completed a 2002/2003 tour of Operation Active Endeavour in the Mediterranean and Operation Apollo in the Arabian Sea. This eventful deployment saw him receive his Bridge Watchkeeping Certificate, participate in many successful boardings and experience his first Christmas at sea. Specializing as a Fleet Navigating Officer, he joined HMCS Ville de Quebec in 2003. Active continentally, VDQ sailed with the NATO fleet Standing Naval Maritime Group 1 and participated in OP Unison (Hurricane Katrina relief). Completing his Operations Room Officer course, he moved to the Pacific Fleet to join HMCS Calgary, which deployed again to the Arabian Sea for Operation Altair in 2008. After a brief stint as Operations Officer with Canadian Fleet Pacific staff, he was appointed Commanding Officer, Patrol Craft Training Squadron in 2009. Cdr Saltel sailed regularly in the capable Orca-class training craft, contributed to the Vancouver Olympics security planning and thoroughly enjoyed training young Naval officers. Completing a Masters of Defence Studies in 2011, and following a brief stop-over at a desk in Ottawa at Canada Command, he assumed the role of Executive Officer of HMCS Iroquois in 2012. An RCN workhorse for this period, Iroquois conducted frequent operations, including Operation Caribbe and Exercise Unitas in the Caribbean, Exercise Joint Warrior in Europe and 1812 Fleet Ex in North America.

  • Executive (In)Decision? Explaining Delays in Canada’S Defence Procurement System, 2006-2015
    Executive (In)Decision? Explaining Delays in Canada’s Defence Procurement System, 2006-2015 by Jeffrey Francis Collins A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018 Jeffrey Francis Collins i Abstract This dissertation asks how delays in Canada’s defence procurement system can be explained. In answering this question, the hypothesis tested is that of the ‘political executive’; the political body composed of the prime minister, cabinet and their advisors who sit at the apex of the federal government. With final decision-making powers over defence policy and budgets, the political executive has been inferred in existing scholarship as a decisive factor in delaying Major Crown Projects (MCPs) from moving through the procurement process but this has never been the subject to a scholarly analysis. Three other independent variables commonly identified in the literature as causing procurement delays were tested alongside the political executive: (1) the defence procurement bureaucracy; (2) the defence industry; (3) and Canada’s military alliances and involvement in the Afghanistan war (2001-2014). Delays are treated as the dependent variable and are defined as a MCP not meeting its original planned project milestone dates. The dissertation relied upon four case studies in performing this analysis: The Joint Support Ships, the Medium Support Vehicle System – Standard Military

  • Assets and Platforms
    Naval Affairs Program Briefing Note # 10 ASSETS AND PLATFORMS The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) is a medium-sized navy, with the ability to conduct operations around the world – normally with partners and allies. If you have read the other Briefing Notes from this series, you’ll have seen that the RCN plays (or can play) a number of roles in Canadian security, from fishery patrols to war-fighting. This Briefing Note looks at the ships, and other assets, that the RCN has to play these roles. Halifax-Class Frigates Canada has 12 Halifax-class patrol frigates, considered the backbone of the Royal Canadian Navy. The ships were planned in the 1980s and built in the 1990s (See Briefing Note about the frigates for more details). They were originally designed for anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare in the open ocean, however they are now used by the navy for a wide variety of tasks. These tasks include deterring unfriendly military forces or hostile actors from using Canadian waters, operating internationally with allies to conduct exercises and operations (for example, counter-piracy, counter-drug, counter-terrorism operations have all been undertaken by the frigates in recent years), helping the Canadian Coast Guard monitor domestic fisheries, and conducting sovereignty patrols. Halifax-class HMCS Halifax HMCS Calgary HMCS Vancouver HMCS Fredericton HMCS Ville de Québec HMCS Winnipeg HMCS Toronto HMCS St. John's HMCS Regina HMCS Charlottetown HMCS Montréal HMCS Ottawa Victoria-Class Submarines The RCN’s submarine fleet is made up of four Victoria-class diesel-electric boats. (Note that submarines are not referred to as ships but rather as boats.) These submarines were purchased from Great Britain in 1998 and have undergone significant upgrades and retrofitting.
