Operation ACTIVE ENDEAVOUR is a NATO maritime operation. It operates in the Mediterranean Sea to prevent the movement of terrorists or weapons of mass destruction, and enhance the security of shipping in general.

 

Under Operation ACTIVE ENDEAVOUR, HMCS Charlottetown will patrol the Mediterranean Sea and detect, deter and protect against terrorist activity in her area of responsibility. Although their mandate is limited to detection and deterrence of activities related to terrorism, the NATO fleet deployed on Operation Active Endeavour has enhanced security and stability in the Mediterranean Sea to the considerable benefit of trade and commerce.
