The base occupies approximately at the southern tip of Vancouver Island on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, in and around the municipality of Esquimalt, British Columbia, adjacent to the western limit of the provincial capital, Victoria. CFB Esquimalt comprises facilities including ''Naden'' (formerly HMCS ''Naden''),〔Naden lost its "HMCS" designation in unification when all Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) shore establishments became part of the Canadian Forces Base system. "(Canada – National Defence: CFB Esquimalt – History )"〕 Her Majesty's Canadian (HMC) Dockyard Esquimalt, Fleet Maintenance Facility – Cape Breton (FMF-CB), a Fire Fighting and Damage Control School, the Naval Officer Training Centre (NOTC Venture), and extensive housing including 716 personnel married quarters located at nine sites such as Belmont Park, Work Point, and Royal Roads. The present dockyard and drydock, known as Her Majesty's Canadian (HMC) Dockyard Esquimalt, dates to the Royal Navy's Esquimalt Royal Navy Dockyard (1842–1905) and was the Royal Navy's Pacific Station until 1911; Today it serves as the Canadian Naval Headquarters in the Pacific. Due to their significance in Canadian naval history, four sites at CFB Esquimalt (the dockyard, the former Royal Navy Hospital, the Veterans’ Cemetery and the Cole Island Magazine) have been designated the Esquimalt Naval Sites National Historic Site of Canada. ==Ships== As of March 2013, CFB Esquimalt services the following ships assigned to Canadian Fleet Pacific *''Halifax'' class patrol frigates * * HMCS ''Vancouver'' (FFH 331) * * HMCS ''Regina'' (FFH 334) * * HMCS ''Calgary'' (FFH 335) * * HMCS ''Winnipeg'' (FFH 338) * * HMCS ''Ottawa'' (FFH 341) *''Kingston'' class coast defence vessels * * HMCS ''Nanaimo'' (MM 702) * * HMCS ''Edmonton'' (MM 703) * * HMCS ''Whitehorse'' (MM 705) * * HMCS ''Yellowknife'' (MM 706) * * HMCS ''Saskatoon'' (MM 709) * * HMCS ''Brandon'' (MM 710) *''Victoria'' class patrol submarines * * HMCS ''Victoria'' (SSK 876) * * HMCS ''Corner Brook'' (SSK 878) * * HMCS ''Chicoutimi'' (SSK 879) *Fleet sail training vessel * * HMCS ''Oriole'' (KC 480) *Auxiliary vessels * *CFAV ''Tillicum'' (YTM 555), tugboat〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.navy.forces.gc.ca/marpac/6/6-w_eng.asp?category=95 )〕 * *''Fire'' class fireboat * * * CFAV ''Firebrand'' (YTR 562), fireboat * *''Ville'' class tugs * * * CFAV ''Lawrenceville'' (YTL 590), tugboat * * * CFAV ''Parksville'' (YTL 591), tugboat * *''Glen'' class tugs * * * CFAV ''Glendyne'' (YTB 640), tugboat * * * CFAV ''Glendale'' (YTB 641), tugboat *''Orca'' class patrol craft training tender * *''Orca'' (PCT 55) * *''Raven'' (PCT 56) * *''Caribou'' (PCT 57) * *''Renard'' (PCT 58) * *''Wolf'' (PCT 59) * *''Grizzly'' (PCT 60) * *''Cougar'' (PCT 61) * *''Moose'' (PCT 62) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CFB Esquimalt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
