Royal Canadian Navy Halifax Multi-Role Patrol Gu
The pride of the Royal Canadian Navy finally sails in Stormworks.
The Halifax-class frigate — also known as the City class — has been the backbone of the Royal Canadian Navy since 1992. Born from the Canadian Patrol Frigate Project of the mid-1970s, HMCS Halifax was the first of twelve Canadian-designed and Canadian-built vessels, combining anti-submarine warfare with surface and air defence capabilities. Now, she's yours to command.
This is a faithful, scaled recreation of the class as a whole, built around Stormworks combat systems and designed to be crewed by a single operator. Scaled to approximately half-size to fit the standard workbench, this build does not sacrifice detail for accessibility — it delivers both.

Armament
Main Gun
57mm/70 calibre AG145 Heavy Autocannon (Jarrmarine), mounted on the forecastle.
Close-In Air Defence
JM Mk24 Compact SAM Launcher, firing 6× NNTC AIM-92 Stinger missiles for short-range aircraft interception.
Long-Range Air Defence (1km+)
Two four-cell JM Mk105 Vertical Launch System launchers (port and starboard of the funnel), carrying 18 Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missiles in total.
Anti-Ship
RGM-84D Harpoon Block 1C missiles (Jarrmarine) — two twin-launch tubes at main deck level between the funnel and helicopter hangar, plus one missile in each VLS block for long-range engagement (1km+). A single Harpoon hit will sink most vessels; this Halifax can survive three or more thanks to its damage control systems.
Anti-Submarine / Anti-Surface
Mark 46 torpedoes (Pufferfish Systems), launched from twin Mark 32 Mod 9 torpedo tubes on the port side forward of the helicopter hangar.
Close-In Weapon System
Modified Phalanx Mark 15 Mod 21 CIWS, mounted on top of the helicopter hangar. Recoded as a fully automatic system that will not target the ship's own helicopter when stored.
Bridge Wing Armament
Two 7.62mm machine guns for anti-personnel and small craft defence.

[b]·[/b] 2 light autocannons
[b]·[/b] 360° radar with 1,000m range
[b]·[/b] Chaff launcher
The hangar includes a weather information display, an EC recharge system to prevent battery drain while docked, fully functional closing doors, and a launching tray capable of deploying the helicopter in extreme weather conditions.
