Design and description
The Kingston class was designed to fill the minesweeper, coastal patrol and reserve training needs of the Canadian Forces, replacing the Шаблон:Sclass2s, Шаблон:Sclass2s and Royal Canadian Mounted Police coastal launches in those roles.Шаблон:Sfn In order to perform these varied duties the Kingston-class vessels are designed to carry up to three Шаблон:Convert ISO containers with power hookups on the open deck aft in order to embark mission-specific payloads.Шаблон:Sfn The seven module types available for embarkation include four route survey, two mechanical minesweeping and one bottom inspection modules.Шаблон:Sfn
The Kingston class displace Шаблон:Convert and are Шаблон:Convert long overall with a beam Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn The coastal defence vessels are powered by four Jeumont ANR-53-50 alternators coupled to four Wärtsilä UD 23V12 diesel engines creating Шаблон:Convert. Two LIPS Z-drive azimuth thrusters are driven by two Jeumont CI 560L motors creating Шаблон:Convert and the Z drives can be rotated 360°. This gives the ships a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert and a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn
The Kingston class is equipped with a Kelvin Hughes navigational radar using the I band and a Kelvin Hughes 6000 surface search radar scanning the E and F bands.

In August 2014, Shawinigan took part in Operation Nanook, an annual joint military exercise performed in northern Canada.[2] During that deployment, Shawinigan set the record for traveling the furthest north of any ship in the history of the Royal Canadian Navy, reaching a maximum latitude of 80 degrees and 28 minutes north. In March 2015, as part of Operation Caribbe, Shawinigan, along with sister ship Шаблон:HMCS and the US frigate Шаблон:USS, intercepted a vessel in the Caribbean Sea carrying Шаблон:Convert of cocaine.[3][4]
In August 2016, the ship sailed with Шаблон:HMCS to the Arctic to take part in Operation Nanook.[5][6] Once the operation is over, Shawinigan partnered with the Canadian Coast Guard vessel Шаблон:Ship to continue the archaeological examination of the sunken vessel Шаблон:HMS and to aid in the search for Шаблон:HMS.[7] Shawinigan and Moncton returned to Halifax on 30 September.[8] On 22 January 2019, Shawinigan and sister ship Шаблон:HMCS departed Halifax for operations off West Africa as part of Operation Projection, working with African nations as well as the United States, United Kingdom and France.[9] The vessels returned to Halifax on 26 April.[10]
On 26 January 2020, Shawinigan and Шаблон:HMCS departed Halifax as part of Operation Projection off West Africa.
