Busted generator forces Canadian warship to quit mission to High Arctic: navy


Busted generator forces Canadian warship to quit mission to High Arctic: navyHALIFAX — A mechanical breakdown has forced one of Canada's newest warships to abandon a mission to the Arctic. HMCS Harry DeWolf was en route to join Operation Nanook in the Far North when one of its four diesel generators failed on Wednesday, The Royal Canadian Navy confirmed Friday. The warship was delivered to the navy on July 31, 2020, and was commissioned on June 26, 2021. Earlier this month, the ship left Halifax to take part in Operation Nanook, an annual multinational mission aimed at promoting Arctic security. The Canadian-led mission is expected to be completed by crews aboard the Arctic patrol ship HMCS Margaret Brooke and the Kingston-class coastal defence vessel HMCS Goose Bay.
