HMCS Nanaimo left CFB Esquimalt on Sept. 28 to deploy on Operation Caribbe, Canada’s contribution to the campaign against criminal organizations in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. Nanaimo will conduct Intermediate Single Ship Readiness Training on its way to San Diego before embarking a U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment and beginning operational patrols. This is Canada’s eleventh year participating in Operation Caribbe. Nanaimo will return to Esquimalt in December.
