The Ship

HMCS Calgary is the third Canadian Patrol Frigate built at Marine Industries Limited, Lauzon P.Q., and the second Canadian warship named after the city of Calgary.

A multi-purpose platform, the Calgary carries extensive anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) weapons and sensors to compliment its substantial anti-air warfare (AAW) defenses. 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 Calgary one of the most advanced warship designs in the world.

The peace time role of HMCS Calgary will include a variety of important missions including search and rescue, training deployments, sovereignty patrols and combined operations with our allies.
