HMCS Yellowknife is a {{sclass-|Kingston|coastal defence vessel|1}} that has served in the Canadian Forces since 1998. Yellowknife is the seventh ship of her class. She is the first vessel to use the designation Yellowknife in the Royal Canadian Navy.[1] The coastal defence vessel is assigned to Maritime Forces Pacific (MARPAC) and is homeported at CFB Esquimalt. Design and descriptionThe Kingston class was designed to fill the minesweeper, coastal patrol and reserve training needs of the Canadian Forces, replacing the {{sclass2-|Bay|minesweeper|1}}s, {{sclass2-|Porte|gate vessel}}s and Royal Canadian Mounted Police coastal launches in those roles.[2] In order to perform these varied duties the Kingston-class vessels are designed to carry up to three {{convert|6.1|m|ft|adj=on}} ISO containers with power hookups on the open deck aft in order to embark mission-specific payloads.[3] The seven module types available for embarkation include four route survey, two mechanical minesweeping and one bottom inspection modules.[2] The Kingston class displace {{convert|970|LT|t}} and are {{convert|55.3|m|ftin}} long overall with a beam {{convert|11.3|m|ftin}} and a draught of {{convert|3.4|m|ftin}}.[2] The coastal defence vessels are powered by four Jeumont ANR-53-50 alternators coupled to four Wärtsilä UD 23V12 diesel engines creating {{convert|7.2|MW}}. Two LIPS Z-drive azimuth thrusters are driven by two Jeumont CI 560L motors creating {{convert|3000|hp|lk=in}} and the Z drives can be rotated 360°. This gives the ships a maximum speed of {{convert|15|kn|lk=in}} and a range of {{convert|5000|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|8|kn}}.[4] The Kingston class is equipped with a Kelvin Hughes navigational radar using the I band and a Kelvin Hughes 6000 surface search radar scanning the E and F bands. The vessels carry an AN/SQS-511 towed side scan sonar for minesweeping and a Remote-control Mine Hunting System (RMHS). The vessels are equipped with one Bofors 40 mm/60 calibre Mk 5C gun and two M2 machine guns.[4]{{efn| name = gun nomenclature}} The 40 mm gun was declared obsolete and removed from the vessels in 2014. Some of them ended up as museum pieces and on display at naval reserve installations across Canada.[5] The Kingston-class coastal defence vessels have a complement of 37.[2] Service historyYellowknife{{'}} keel was laid down on 7 November 1996 by Halifax Shipyards Ltd. at Halifax, Nova Scotia and was launched on 5 June 1997. The coastal defence vessel transferred to the west coast in January 1998 and was commissioned into the Canadian Forces on 18 April 1998 at Esquimalt, British Columbia and carries the hull number MM 706.[6]Yellowknife, accompanied by frigates {{HMCS|Winnipeg|FFH 338|2}} and {{HMCS|Calgary|FFH 335|2}} and sister ship {{HMCS|Brandon|MM 710|2}}, departed in October 2014 to take part in San Francisco Fleet Week and the Task Group Exercise with the US Navy in American coastal waters.[7] Following those exercises, Yellowknife and Brandon deployed as part of Operation Caribbe, completing their tour on 4 December.[8] In June 2016, Calgary, {{HMCS|Vancouver|FFH 331|2}}, {{HMCS|Saskatoon|MM 709|2}} and Yellowknife sailed from Esquimalt to participate in the RIMPAC naval exercise.[9] After reports surfaced of a lost nuclear bomb was discovered off the coast of British Columbia, Yellowknife was sent to investigate and recover the item. Divers from Yellowknife determined the object was not the missing bomb.[10] From August to September 2017, Yellowknife and sister ship {{HMCS|Edmonton||2}} sailed to the Arctic Ocean to perform surveillance of Canada's northern waters as part of Operation Limpid. They returned to Esquimalt on 5 October.[11]In June and July 2018, Yellowknife and sister ship {{HMCS|Whitehorse||2}} were deployed off the coast of Southern California while taking part in RIMPAC 2018.[12] ReferencesNotes{{notes| notes ={{efn | name = gun nomenclature | The 60 calibre denotes the length of the gun.
