Operation Apollo
Operation Apollo is an operation of the Canadian Navy[?] in support of the United States in its "War on Terrorism". Currently, the naval force consists of the Halifax-class frigates[?] HMCS Montréal[?] and HMCS Winnipeg[?] stationed in the Arabian Sea.
Two ships, the frigate HMCS Fredericton[?], which will replace the Montréal, and the destroyer HMCS Iroquois[?] are enroute to the Arabian Sea. The departure of the Iroquois was delayed when its Sea King helicopter lost power and crashed into the deck.
HMC Ships Halifax[?], Charlottetown[?], Preserver[?], Vancouver[?], Ottawa[?], Toronto[?], St. John's[?] and Protecteur[?] have previously completed tours of duty in the operation.
