This was the start of a 'cooperation exercise' (SAMEX) [3] between the Knud Rasmussen and HMCS Shawinigan. The emergency call was simulated only for the purposes of the exercise. The day's program also featured a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) exercise, crew exchanges, casualty exercises aboard both vessels, and, later, a photography session.
