HMCS Yellowknife Deploys for Operation CARIBBE – Canada’s Maritime Fight Against Drug Trafficking

On January 21, 2026, HMCS Yellowknife departed on a seven-week deployment in support of Operation CARIBBE, Canada’s contribution to U.S.-led multinational counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.

As a Kingston-class Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel, HMCS Yellowknife will conduct maritime surveillance, track vessels of interest, and support U.S. Coast Guard law enforcement teams in intercepting and boarding suspect vessels. The mission is part of a broader regional effort to disrupt the flow of illicit narcotics into North American communities.
