HDMS Knud Rasmussen is a Royal Danish Navy patrol vessel. [1] [2] [3] [4] Knud Rasmussen and her sister ships normally operate in the waters around Greenland. HDMS Knud Rasmussen is capable of breaking through ice up to 80 cm thick. [5]
Knud Rasmussen participated in Operation Nanook 2010, in August 2010, and 2014, in Baffin Bay and the Davis Strait, with Canadian and American vessels. [6] [7]
This was the start of a 'cooperation exercise' (SAMEX) [3] between the Knud Rasmussen and HMCS Shawinigan. The emergency call was simulated only for the purposes of the exercise. The day's program also featured a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) exercise, crew exchanges, casualty exercises aboard both vessels, and, later, a photography session.
