Also taking part are the Royal Canadian Air Force, U.S. Navy aircraft and U.S. Coast Guard aircraft and patrol ships. While the majority of activity will be about 70 nautical miles west of Tofino, the public in the Victoria area will be able to see what is happening at times — including the participation of Her Majesty’s Canadian Submarine Victoria. Known as Task Group Exercise 21-01, the training session will help HMCS Calgary, HMCS Brandon and HMCS Saskatoon prepare for upcoming deployments. Calgary will join Operation Artemis for counterterroism work in the Persian Gulf, along with Operation Projection to train with allies in the western Pacific.
