On Sunday, January 26, His Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) Harry DeWolf departed its home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, for a six-week deployment in the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean involving counter-narcotics related activities with US forces.
During Operation CARIBBE, the ship will participate in United States Coast Guard (USCG)-led efforts to monitor and intercept vessels of interest to impede the flow of illicit drugs and goods between South America, the Caribbean, and North America. As part of these efforts, sailors will support boarding and maritime interdiction operations with embarked USCG Tactical Law Enforcement Team personnel, partner nation surface assets, and maritime patrol aircraft.
Operation CARIBBE enables the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) to work with our partners and allies to protect Canada's communities through counter-narcotics operations, and to help prevent the flow of illicit drugs and goods into Canada, contributing to a safer North America.
