The patrol vessels of the new HARRY-DEWOLF class are intended to contribute to military protection and the safety of shipping in Canada's Arctic waters.

The tall ship AF CHAPMAN is moored in the Swedish capital. After an eventful past, it has been used to accommodate young people for more than 70 years. The AF CHAPMAN in Stockholm is one of the most impressive sights in Swedish maritime and naval history.
