Canada In Action: Replenishment At Sea


Her Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) Athabaskan (front) approaches the American vessel USNS Kanawha (center) and HMCS Charlottetown (right) for Replenishment at Sea (RAS) during Task Group Exercise (TGEX) in the Atlantic Ocean on 14 November 2010.

TGEX is part of a continuing series of fleet training exercises, the aim of which is to develop unit‑level and multi-unit proficiency in all areas of maritime warfare. Typically, a mock scenario is drawn up involving Canadian participants -- but it has included Americans in the past -- who use their skills to successfully navigate through various challenges.
