Public summary
The Harry DeWolf class Arctic and offshore patrol vessels provide Canada with ice-capable naval presence in northern and offshore waters. They support Arctic sovereignty, maritime security, constabulary patrols, disaster response and helicopter-supported operations with limited self-defence armament. The class is not a frigate substitute; its value is persistent patrol and presence in regions where ordinary OPVs would struggle.
