Frigate to become the first of three frigates to deploy in the region over a 12-month period, along with naval supply vessel Asterix
A Royal Canadian Navy frigate departed Halifax today as part of the federal government’s wider strategy of boosting its presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
A news release says the ship and its on-board Cyclone helicopter detachment will work closely with allies in naval exercises during the deployment. The Halifax-class frigates carry anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare weapons and sensors, along with anti-air warfare defences. Anand has said working with countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Singapore represents a shift that goes beyond a naval presence in the region as Canada seeks to boost economic relationships with those nations.
