While the South Korean proposal is compelling, it faces competition from European shipbuilders, and the Canadian government has yet to issue a formal request for proposals.

The Kingston-class vessels, launched between 1995 and 1999, have been a cornerstone of the RCN’s coastal defense capabilities.

Following the the sea trials, Robert Hampton Gray will have an official naming ceremony.

Conducting this rearmament so far from home, with the invaluable support of our Australian partners, is a testament to the strong relationship and interoperability between our militaries.

The RCN must be prepared to operate effectively aboard the future River-class Destroyer.

The Department of National Defence announced today the selection of the first transmit and receive sites for the Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar (A-OTHR) project.

The Hammerhead was weaponized with explosives and deliberately driven into another uncrewed target vessel, where it was detonated.

A total of three RCN ships are currently deployed on Operation REASSURANCE. The St. John’s is expected to return to Halifax in early 2026.

HMCS Ville de Québec, which departed Halifax on April 7, 2025, for Operation HORIZON, will conduct live-fire naval exercises during Ex TS25, showcasing its advanced capabilities in maritime warfare.

From July to October 2025, these Kingston-class Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels will join Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group 1.
