HMCS VANCOUVER

HMCS VANCOUVER is the second Canadian Patrol Frigate built at Saint John Shipbuilding, Saint John, NB, and the third Canadian warship named after the City of Vancouver.

A multi-purpose platform, the VANCOUVER carries extensive anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) weapons and sensors to compliment its substantial anti-air (AAW) defences. The combination of its varied and proven weapon and sensors system coupled with a state of the art damage control and machinery control systems makes VANCOUVER one of the most advanced warship designs in the world.

The peace time role of VANCOUVER includes a variety of missions related to search and rescue, training deployments, sovereignty patrols and combined operations with Canadian allies.
