HMCS Toronto, a Halifax-class frigate, leads a fleet of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ships through the Black Sea while conducting a training exercise during Operation REASSURANCE in September 2014. Along with the Iroquois-class destroyer ships, the frigates will be replaced under the Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) program, which will be one of the first procurement projects to be affected by the government's new Defence Procurement Strategy (DPS).
