Canada’s Naval Strategy

Canada’s naval strategy focuses on protecting its maritime interests, supporting international security, and enabling homeland defense. It emphasizes maintaining a capable and modern navy to ensure freedom of navigation, respond to emergencies, and contribute to global peacekeeping efforts. Canada aims to balance between operating its combat vessels, supporting allied operations, and safeguarding its extensive coastline and maritime resources. The strategy also promotes technological innovation and partnership with allies like NATO to address evolving threats such as piracy, cyberattacks, and fisheries management, ensuring Canada's maritime security and strategic influence are preserved in a complex global environment.
