ADM(Mat) has officially announced today that the Royal Canadian Navy's Harry DeWolf-Class has reached Full Operational Capability. The announcement was made on LinkedIn earlier today, and included both a statement and accompanying image.
Full operational capability achieved!
The Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship (AOPS) project has reached a defining milestone, confirming the Royal Canadian Navy's (RCN) six Harry DeWolf-class ships - and the people, training, infrastructure, equipment, spares and sustainment needed to support it - are ready for operation in the Arctic and beyond.
His Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) Robert Hampton Gray, the sixth and final RCN ship, was delivered in 2025 and is planned to be commissioned this November, marking the culmination of years of sustained effort across National Defence and industry.
Bravo Zulu to the entire team involved!
Great news and Go Navy!
