New Royal Canadian Navy Offshore Patrol Vessel Visits Norfolk After Circumnavigating North America


Canada’s newest Arctic and offshore patrol ship stopped in Virginia last week after finishing a circumnavigation of North American for its first deployment.

During the visit, the commander of HMCS Harry DeWolf‘s (AOPV 430) jokingly boasted that it sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia through the Northwest Passage to Vancouver, British Columbia “on one tank of gas.”

Cmdr. Corey Gleason, speaking in Norfolk, Va., last week, said Harry DeWolf‘s diesel-electric system “sips” fuel even when breaking ice.

“We have to be able to go north and operate in the North in the dead of winter,” he said at a press conference on Friday to secure Canada’s territorial claims in Arctic waters and defend its far north. Gleason added that Harry DeWolf, the first ship of six in its class, also will support other government agencies like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in law enforcement for climate researchers and scientists in their work in the region.

The ship “wasn’t just driving through the Northwest Passage for driving’s sake,” Gleason said. He said the traverse provided valuable training for the 65-member crew in icebreaking and operating in distant waters.
