In brief
HMCS Harry DeWolf (AOPV 430) is the lead ship of her class of offshore patrol vessels for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). The class was derived from the Arctic Offshore Patrol Ship project as part of the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy and is primarily designed for the patrol and support of Canada's Arctic regions. Named after Vice Admiral Harry DeWolf, a former head of the RCN, the vessel was ordered in 2011, laid down in 2016 and launched in 2018. The vessel completed contractors sea trials in July 2020, was delivered to the RCN on 31 July 2020 and began post-acceptance sea trials. Harry DeWolf was commissioned on 26 June 2021.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 6,641 gross tons, HMCS Harry DeWolf is the 40,810th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 611 naval / patrols held here, it ranks 60th by tonnage — larger than 78% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,325 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 23,606 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (136 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Austal, with 33 hulls on record.
Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory, of which HMCS Harry DeWolf is the 134th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (404 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,800 GT. Browse every ship flagged Canada.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 13 naval / patrols flying the Canada flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.
HMCS Harry DeWolf was built in 2021, making it 5 years old. It is one of 251 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 15,776 GT; within it this ship is the 96th largest. Across the whole of the 2020s the registry holds 1,769 vessels, median 29,777 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 2 vessels to Irving Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 7,045 GT, delivered between 2021 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 4702503 this registry holds 6 other vessels, whose median build year is 2021. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2021.
Its IMO number, 4702503, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 4×7 + 7×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 5×3 + 0×2 = 93 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
