Warships to join U.S. destroyers in anti-terrorism training
(CBC) - Five Canadian warships are leaving Halifax on Monday to join
the U.S. navy in training exercises that will pit them against a
simulated terrorist attack.
HMCS Montreal, Ville de Québec, Summerside, Moncton and Preserver will
be joined on the three-week mission by Canadian fighter jets and the
country's only operational submarine, HMCS Windsor.
They will work alongside three U.S. destroyers.
The Canadian military said the exercise will give the countries an
opportunity to train together and take part in a scenario involving a
terrorist organization.
"They will be asked to react to that scenario, and they'll put in
place the combat tactics that they have been practising during this
intense three-week exercise," said Lieut. Sonia Connock, a navy
spokesperson.
The training exercises will be in waters near Halifax, Boston and
Norfolk, Va.
It will be Preserver's first mission since undergoing a $40-million
retrofit in 2005. The vessel had been plagued with electrical problems.
The vessels are scheduled to return on March 10.
