Canada to host multi-national military exercise off Vancouver Island in June

Asterix to Engage in Military Training Exercise off the Shores of Southern Vancouver

MV Asterix, a Combat Support Ship, is scheduled to engage in training exercises off the shores of southern Vancouver Island in June 2023. During this time, Canada will be hosting multi-national military exercises, resulting in an increased display of military activity in the area. Prepare to witness the presence of ships, aircraft, and armed personnel as part of these exercises.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

After 229 hours off of Port Sudan and 1910 nautical miles sailed on lookout, patrol and replenishment operations, Asterix has now ended its deployment on Operation Savanne, Canada’s response to the crisis in Sudan. During Operation Savanne, Asterix replenished Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Navy (UK), US Navy, Spanish Navy and French Navy vessels and helicopters involved with the evacuation. We were also pleased to accommodate the US Navy onboard who designated the vessel as the At Sea Command Platform for Task Force Red Sea (CTG 55.2).
