History:

The twelve HALIFAX Class Frigates launched during the period 1988 to 1995, form the backbone of the Canadian Navy. The ships were designed in the late 1970's and early 1980's to accomplish the Cold War Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW) missions primarily in the open ocean environment.In the decade since the end of the Cold War, the operational profile of the HALIFAX Class has changed.

Current and evolving threat systems are faster, stealthier, more manoeuvrable and are moving from open-ocean areas to the littoral environment. This new environment poses particular challenges to sensors and weapon systems caused by, in some part, the higher traffic density and the detailed topography of this geographic area.
