PM says warship being sent to Libya

By Murray Brewster, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – 16 minutes ago

OTTAWA - Canada will send a warship to Libya, adding to the international

military buildup in the region, Prime Minister Harper said Tuesday.

The Halifax-based frigate, HMCS Charlottetown, is expected to conduct

as-yet-undefined humanitarian relief operations in conjunction with an American

carrier battle group led by the nuclear-powered USS Enterprise.

Harper said the warship will depart Wednesday.

" I am proud that the Charlottetown will rapidly be joining Canadian and allied

forces to participate in this effort in Libya, " Harper told the House of

Commons.
