HMCS Anticosti was an Anticosti-class minesweeper that served in the Canadian Forces from 1989 to 2000. Originally an oil rig support vessel, she was purchased in 1989 and saw service until the entry of the newer Kingston-class coastal defence vessels. The ship was named for Anticosti Island, the second to bear the name. Following her Canadian naval career, Anticosti was sold to commercial interests.
The ship was initially constructed for use as an offshore drill-rig supply vessel by International Offshore Services. As a supply vessel, Jean Tide was 1,076 tonnes (1,059 long tons) with a deadweight tonnage of 1,196 tons. She was 58.3 metres (191 ft 3 in) long overall and 51.7 metres (169 ft 7 in) between perpendiculars with a beam of 13.1 metres (43 ft 0 in) and a draught of 5.2 metres (17 ft 1 in).
The vessel was purchased in 1988 by Maritime Command (MARCOM) of the Canadian Forces and converted into a minesweeping auxiliary. Fully loaded, the minesweeper displaced 1,076 tons and 2,200 tons deep load. Anticosti had astern refuelling gear fitted in 1995.
The Anticosti class was powered by four NOHAB Polar diesel engines driving two shafts and one 550 brake horsepower (410 kW) azimuth bow thruster. This created a maximum speed of 13.5 knots (25.0 km/h; 15.5 mph) and an endurance of 12,000 nautical miles (22,000 km; 14,000 mi).
