Model, HMCS Toronto

HMCS Toronto is one of 12 Halifax class patrol frigates that entered Canadian service between 1992 and 1996.

The end result of the Canadian Patrol Frigate program that had begun in the mid-1970s, Toronto and the other 11 frigates are sophisticated, multi-purpose warships. Their armament includes air defence and anti-ship missiles, a Bofors 57 mm gun (right), a Sea King helicopter (far left), and anti-submarine homing torpedoes. A Canadian Tactical Towed Array Sonar (CANTASS), capable of detecting submarines at very long ranges, replaces the variable depth sonars carried by earlier Canadian warships.
