Gallery
This page will be the “Home Page” for our CNTHA Photo Gallery. It is intended to link other pages to this page with photos of operational ships and those under construction or repair. There will be no attempt to provide a large collection of photos but rather will seek to simply provide examples of each category. It is likely many of those photos posted will come from CNTHA Members’ personal collections.
Website visitors are advised that there is a more complete listing of RCN ships to be found on the “Our Ships” page including the earlier Tribals and others. Please go to: Our Ships.

f). Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel (MCDV)
The class is the name for 12 the Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel Project (MCDV). These multi-role vessels were built and launched from the mid- to late-1990s and are crewed by a combination of Naval Reserve and Regular-Force personnel.
Their main missions are counter narcotics, coastal surveillance, sovereignty patrol, route survey, and training. They were designed with a minesweeping role in mind and are consequently classified as mechanical minesweepers (MM); however, this role has diminished as a result of the evolving nature of mine warfare. The possibility of acquiring the gear necessary to undertake a more appropriate mine-hunting role continues to be examined [Ed - source Wikipedia].
