Successful missile test

The Halifax Chronicle-Herald reports that HMCS Fredericton has successful completed a missile test where they fired two Sea Sparrow missiles. The missiles cost about $850,000 each but were nearing the end of their shelf-life.

HMC Submarines

Two articles in the Halifax Daily News about Canadian Navy submarines. The first is about the joint exercise with the Army's Pathfinders mentioned earlier. The second is about the living conditions on the subs. They don't sound very pleasant to me but I guess you can get used to anything.

More on amphibious exercise

The Trident has an article on the previously mentioned amphibious exercise being conducted by the Canadian Forces. The exercise, properly called the Integrated Tactical Effects Experiment or ITEE will be held from November 2 to 20. The article mentions the involvement of the US Marine Corps as mentors to the CF personnel.

Another article has some more info and a small picture of the inside of the USS Gunston Hall.
