HMCS Ville de Quebec Replaced Expended Harpoon missile a joint Canadian and Australian effort July 21, 2025 in Darwin.
This follows the forward rearmament of HMCS Vancouver in the port of Broome, Australia, in 2024, which was the first of its kind for a Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) ship outside of North America. 2025 builds on important lessons learned from the inaugural iteration in 2024 and further develops an important logistical capability that ensures the CAF can be agile when deploying RCN ships to the Indo-Pacific region.
The event took place ahead of, and immediately after, a live-fire missile shoot of a Block II Harpoon Missile during Exercise TALISMAN SABRE, where the missile engaged a ground-based target.
