Operation Nanook 2007 was the 2007 annual joint exercise of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Coast Guard to train for disaster and sovereignty patrols in the Arctic.[1][2] Similar exercises have been conducted every year since.
Elements of the Canadian Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police joined with elements of the Canadian Forces in the exercise.[2] The frigate HMCS Fredericton the minesweeper HMCS Summerside, the submarine HMCS Corner Brook, CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft, reservists from the local Canadian Rangers, and Primary Reserve soldiers from across Canada composed the Canadian Forces component.
During the exercise the Summerside played a drug smuggling vessel, nicknamed the MV Rusty Bucket.[2]
