CCGS Cape Roger is the lead ship of the Cape Roger-class fisheries patrol vessels operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The ship entered service in 1977 and was assigned to monitor the Atlantic fisheries. During the Turbot War, Cape Roger took part in the detainment of the Spanish fishing trawler Estai. The ship is currently in service.
Cape Roger is 62.5 m (205.05 ft) long overall with a beam of 12.1 m (39.70 ft) and a draught of 5.3 m (17.39 ft). The ship has a fully loaded displacement of 1,465 long tons (1,489 t), a gross register tonnage (GRT) of 1,255 and a net tonnage (NT) of 357. The ship is propelled by two Polar Nohab F212V 12-cylinder geared diesel engines driving one controllable pitch propeller and bow thrusters creating 3,278 kW (4,396 hp). This gives the vessel a maximum speed of 18 knots (33 km/h). Cape Roger carries 398.00 m3 (14,055 cu ft) of diesel fuel giving the vessel a range of 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km) at 12 knots (22 km/h) and can stay at sea for up to 31 days.
The ship was equipped with a flight deck located over the stern of the vessel and was capable of landing operations for one light helicopter. Cape Roger was initially fitted with a hangar. In 2011, the hangar was removed and replaced with a workshop and the flight deck was modified and is capable only of helicopter hoisting. The patrol vessel is armed with two 12.7 mm (0.50 in) machine guns. The ship has a complement of 19, with 8 officers and 11 crew. The vessel has 23 spare berths.
