Boarding party team members conduct a small arms proficiency shoot onboard Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Charlottetown in the Gulf of Aden while on Operation ARTEMIS on June 27, 2012.

Operation ARTEMIS is the Canadian Forces’ (CF) participation in maritime security and counter-terrorism operations in the Arabian Sea region with the multinational coalition task force CTF 150, which operates under Combined Maritime Forces (CMF).

CMF is a multi-national naval partnership, which exists to promote security, stability and prosperity across approximately 2.5 million square miles of international waters in the Middle East, which encompass some of the world’s most important shipping lanes. The presence of HMCS Charlottetown in the Arabian Sea region operating with CTF 150 also gives Canada the flexibility and capability to respond quickly to emerging crises in the region.

Don't understand why we're wasting all these taxpayer money in wars that are non-relevant to our country. No one in the right mind would attack Canada, doesn't matter how much they hate the West. It is more important to save the homeless and less fortunate children in east vancouver than to kill people overseas, most of the time it is usually the innocent people being killed rather than the actual combatants.

The involvement is so that Canadians of reason and good intent can be free and safe to continue to help the poor in Canada, in places like East Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and any number of other places.

Canadian forces, along with their US, Australian, UK, etc. compatriots are fighting people who, if they could, would get through to and kill as many Canadians as possible. They have proven a willingness to do so, and try to do so in virtually every civilized nation.

...and of course they are not in their "right mind," as we would define it. They want to blow themselves up for their God and their religion and kill ans many innocent infidels as possible to obtain their "heaven," for pete's sake.

Very difficult, if not impossible, to "negotiate with," or reason with such people.

But that's why...and do not think if you just "leave them alone," that they will leave you alone. They most certainly will not.

I took these photos of our pride, the highly advanced HMCS Vancouver FFH331, a Halifax class anti submarine frigate armed with 8 Harpoon anti ship missiles, 16 Evolved Sea Sparrow surface to air missiles, 24 Mk. 46 Mod. 5 torpedoes, a fully automatic 57 mm Bofors naval cannon, and a 20 mm Vulcan Phalanx close in weapon system.

The Halifax Class are EXCELLENT vessels! Canada built 12 of these outstanding frigates and commissioned all of them in four years between 1992 and 1996. That was averaging three per year all four years and was very impressive.

They are still going strong and now undergoing a significant modernization and life extension program to keep them at sea until 2030.

What has become of the Single Class Surface Combatant Project to replace the Iriquis Destroyers? Will Canada go Horizon/Daring, or AEGIS? I believe three of the DDGs similar to what Australia is doing would be outstanding, but Horizon/FREMM would be equally impressive if outfitted fully.
