Canada’s HMCS Montreal Docked In Hamilton

The HMCS Montreal — one of 12 frigates in the Royal Canadian Navy — is presently docked in Hamilton.

Named after the city of Montreal, she was launched in 1992 and serves on MARLANT missions protecting Canada’s sovereignty in the Atlantic Ocean and enforcing Canadian laws in its territorial sea and Exclusive Economic Zone.

Montréal has also been deployed on missions throughout the Atlantic and to the Indian Ocean; specifically the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea on anti-terrorism operations.

Montréal has also participated in several NATO missions, patrolling the Atlantic Ocean as part of Standing Naval Force Atlantic [STANAVFORLANT] and its successor Standing NATO Response Force Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1).

In recent years Montréal has conducted sovereignty patrols in the Canadian Arctic as well as assisting in drug interdiction operations in the Caribbean Sea.

She is assigned to Maritime Forces Atlantic [MARLANT] and is homeported at CFB Halifax.
