Joint US/Canadian naval exercise Monday

Canadian warships and aircraft, including Canada's only operational submarine, will head out of Halifax harbor on Monday to begin naval exercises with the US Navy.
The three week mission is designed to test combat capabilities in anti-submarine warfare, electronic warfare, and boarding operations.

An unnamed source prays that the test comes off without serious losses for the Canadian forces, which recently lost another Sea King helicopter, due to using it. Another source stated that the Canadian Navy will consider the exercise a success if the fleet manages to find the US fleet and return home safely.
