The final ship
from Marine Industries Ltd., Sorel, Que, she was floated up on 28
Aug 1992. She departed Quebec City on 24 Jun 1994 and arrived at Halifax on 28 Jun 1994, where she was provisionally
accepted on 30 Aug 1994. She was to be based at Esquimalt, where she
was commissioned on 12 May 1995. On 10 July 1995 she sailed for the
Arabian (Persian) Gulf as the first in her class to assist in
enforcing sanctions against Iraq. Homebound December 1995, she went
to the aid of the sinking Greek bulk-carrier Mount Olympus, 1,500
south of Halifax. CALGARY's helicopter rescued all 30 of the crew,
landing them aboard the Bulgarian freighter Rodopi. CALGARY returned
to Esquimalt on 22 Dec 1995, the first CPF to circumnavigate the
globe. In the summer of 1999 CALGARY participated in the Pacific
exercise Tandem Thrust despite the breakdown of one of her diesel
generators. From there she journeyed to Singapore, to take part in
IMDEX 99 (the International Marine Defence Exhibition). On 20 June
2000, CALGARY again departed Esquimalt for a five-month deployment
to the Arabian Gulf, operating with American units in enforcing UN
sanctions against Iraq, returning home on 30 Nov 2000.
