Stennis (CVN 74). Algonquin just completed an eight-ship photo exercise with Stennis just prior to participation in Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC) 2004. RIMPAC is the largest international maritime exercise in the waters around the Hawaiian Islands. This years exercise will include seven participating nations; Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, South Korea, Britain and the United States. RIMPAC is intended to enhance the tactical proficiency of participating units in a wide array of combined operations at sea, while enhancing stability in the Pacific Rim region.

context_page_description: HMCS Algonquin (DDG 283) was an Iroquois-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1973 to 2015.
  Algonquin was the fourth ship of her class which is sometimes referred to as the Tribal class or the 280 class. She is the second vessel to use the designation HMCS Algonquin. Algonquin carried the hull classification symbol DDG.
  Algonquin was originally designed to be primarily an anti-submarine destroyer. The Iroquois-class destroyers were the first ships in the Royal Canadian Navy to carry multiple helicopters, and were the first ships to be powered entirely by gas turbines in a COGOG arrangement. Algonquin underwent a major refit called the Tribal Class Update and Modernization Program from 1987 to 1991 and emerged as an area air defence destroyer.
  She was assigned to Maritime Forces Pacific and was homeported at CFB Esquimalt.
