Rather the Navy rarely even mentions in any official media releases (print or social media) that it's an important role for them. Unlike the USN or Royal Navy.
What is there for them to say? Are they actually involved in the CAF ASW deployments in recent years? Exercises are neat and all but...they're exercises. MONGOOSE is MANTA, but in a different location. Great exercises, but...still exercises.
Having been on more than one ASW Det...I've never done one with RCN or our MH folks involved.
That aside...ASW isn't something people are going to talk about in terms of...TTPs, etc. "We do this, we do that...then this happens" stuff is strictly on the "need to know" basis. As aircrew, we didn't even talk about it with the groundcrew who kept us flying...or in the bathroom down the hall from the crew rooms at the Sqn. Cleaners and stuff, right?
