After a five week transit from her home port in Esquimalt, British Columbia via the Panama Canal, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Ocean, HMCS Vancouver departs Palma de Mallorca, Spain for her first patrol of Operation MOBILE.
Under the authority of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973, HMCS Vancouver together with Canada's NATO partners is enforcing an arms embargo and taking actions to protect civilians in Libya as part of Operation Unified Protector.
HMCS Vancouver's presence demonstrates Canada's willingness and ability to assist in North Africa by creating a sustained maritime presence in the region while providing a range of readily deployable capabilities to the Government of Canada.
protect our North from Americans and future shipping ! Defend Canada, not Libya !
