- For Season 2, Episode 6, we visit with the Commanding Officer of HMCS Ottawa (FFH 341), a Halifax class surface combatant warship, as he shares his insight on the fighting capability of the ship.
We also have the very rare opportunity to visit the modernized Operations Room on board a Halifax class warship.
We then get a great appreciation for the combat capability of the Halifax class with a rundown of the weapons on the warship.
We thank the men and women of HMCS Ottawa for their kindness and support.
Go Bold!

20 year veteran of the RCN, medically released in 2012. I was an NCIOP/SAAC. That short tour of the operations room really brought back some fun memories but that ops room looks nothing like the one I left in 2012 lol. Thank you for entertaining this old salt and keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback. I'm happy it brought back memories, and I want to say thank you for your service in the Navy. I hope you are doing well and I hope you will continue to watch as we have more Navy videos ahead! 😊
Myself i like the armsment layout of the Iveer Huetfeld Danish heavy destroyer. Amongst other tools, it has three gun turrets. Two forward and another aft. One could if required, cruise the Taiwan Strait. If 'escorted' on both flanks CCP Navy, you vould merely point one 76mm left and another 76mm right. The 3rd CIWS could stay as air sen try. Its called deterrence.
Since the end of the Cold War, most of us westerners have forgotten the vslue of teeth AND claws. Navy atrillery gun muzzles are our closest friends to send a message of partnership commitment.
I have always felt that if Canada wants to be serious about its Navy, then the ships we build should all have significant combat capability. Yes, you can, in extremis, add things to any hull, but it still means those systems need to be plugged into a secure command and control structure, and you need the training, so it's not as easy as it sounds. The better solution is to build the right ships with significant kinetic capability from the get-go, but that means the government of the day would make that objective a priority and provide the appropriate funding.
GoBold, I pretty much agree with you. We are finding out in this dangerous world, our blue water navy is barely adequate in soon to be possibly hostile waters. Same as our 5(?) navy fleet commitment to the Gulf War #1. These seaworthy vessels needed significant armament upgrades including thier SeaKing helicopters.
So. We are relearning lessons from 1991. That's a terribly run navy IMO. Worse off is our littoral fleet. Sadly bereft of any significant armament systems. Its too depressing to cover all of these in details.
But the perfect picture of Canada's naval attitude is our 6 brand new arctic patrol vessels. One 25 mil polar bear gun. Backed up by two WW2 machine guns, that ssoo thoughtfully, are in totally open to acritc air and sea spray mounts. Circa 1945 battles in the South Pacific. Be well.
its a nice ship, canada needs more ships
I agree!
