Edited 11 Jun 05 to remove HMCS HURON from Ships listing, as it has been decommissioned.

'In 1995 Athabaskan was involved in missile firing practice on the Puerto Rican range. Due to absolute incompetence in the training of Nesop personnel, (they are the crew who actually fire the weapon systems)this ship almost shot down a German Tornado aircraft and most probably a civilian airliner.If not for a technical fault in the missile itself it is likely that one of these aircraft would have been fired at and destroyed. This event was covered up by Canadian Navy personnel. No board of inquiry was ever held into these events. ' This section should either be supported by a reference, deleted or labelled 'allegably'. I find it hard to believe such an incident could happen and then be covered up successfully. Too many nationalities involved. 145.253.108.22 11:00, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
