HMCS Protecteur
HMCS Protecteur is the Canadian Navy's only supply ship stationed on the Pacific Coast. Her role is to supply Canadian and Allied warships with fuel food and supplies thus enabling Canada's warships to remain at sea for longer peiods of time without having to return to port for fuel and supplies. Protecteur is a large vessel, displacing nearly five times the tonnage of one frigate. This allows her to carry enough provisions to supply a task force of six destroyers for six weeks without having to return to port for resupply. |
