Canada is deploying two Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) warships from their home port of Halifax to join a NATO maritime operation to clear mines in northern Europe.

Defence Minister Anita Anand made the announcement at a news conference in London, U.K., on June 29, alongside her British counterpart, Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace.
