👏⚓ A hearty “Bravo Zulu!” to HMCS Max Bernays on completion of its recent deployment. From the northern Pacific to the Indo-Pacific region, your deployment on #OpLATITUDE #OpNEON #OpHORIZON was epic.

🌊🌏 Royal Canadian Navy

National Defence 🍁

Through #OpHORIZON, #OpNEON, and exercises, the Canadian Forces support peace, security, and resilience in the #IndoPacific region.

In 2024, that meant:
- 300 days at sea
- 20+ regional exercises
- 25+ air sorties
- 500+ defence personnel trained

🇨🇦⚓ Royal Canadian Navy Halifax-class frigate HMCS Ottawa gets absolutely no Canadian press coverage on their #OpNEON deployment, announced by Japanese, not Canadian officials, of course. 🙄 #HMCSOttawa

Unfortunately, nobody is going to ask the RCN how things are going with #OpNEON today, or ask if #HMCSOttawa is being harassed by Chinese warships / coast guard vessels in the international waters of the Chinese EEZ.

🇨🇦⚓ If you wanted to make HMCS Ottawa operations on #OpHORIZON/ #OpNEON topical and interesting to the public, their AIS data shows they've been operating in the Chinese EEZ 🇨🇳, the international waters of the East China Sea, earlier today. #HMCSOttawa

🇨🇦⚓️ RCN Halifax-class frigate HMCS Ottawa has been conducting operations in the Yellow Sea, specifically in the South Korean EEZ, presumably part of #OpNEON.

Operation NEON - Canada.ca Operation NEON is Canada’s contribution to a coordinated multinational effort to support the implementation of United Nations Security Council sanctions imposed against North Korea.

Predictably 3+ months out of date, here is the official GoC web page for #OpNEON, the operation 140108 is concluding.
