Kate Stewart is a Port Inspection Diver in the Canadian Royal Navy. Port Inspection Divers use compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) to perform various underwater searches, surveys, and inspections, primarily for the purpose of port security. Port security is one aspect of Maritime Coastal Operations conducted to ensure the maritime security of the nation. Port Inspection Divers often work in conjunction with naval port security teams to provide underwater skill sets in support of the sovereignty and safety of Canada's numerous ports, harbors, and waterways, and may also be deployed outside Canada for operations or exercises. In addition to their main responsibilities as Port Inspection Divers, they must also carry out several tasks in support of diving activities such as driving inflatable boats and specialized dive vehicles, preparing dive sites, maintaining dive-related equipment, and conducting general and diving-related administration including forward logistics for operations. For more information on their roles and responsibilities, check out this link: (https://forces.ca/en/career/port-inspection-diver/) The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) relies on various groups and units within its organization to ensure that its ships and personnel are protected, both at home in Canada and around the world. Kate Stewart has been part of one of these groups for the past 5 years. This group is the Naval Tactical Operations Group (NTOG), a full-time dedicated unit within the RCN that specializes in advanced boarding operations at sea. This includes maritime interdiction operations, which is the interception of suspect vessels to prevent the movement of illicit cargo and materiel at sea. Additional duties include force protection which entails protecting Navy ships, infrastructure, and personnel all over the world (https://www.canada.ca/en/navy/corporate/fleet-units/specialized-units/ntog.html). This is like the United States military's VBSS (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure). This term is used by United States military and law enforcement agencies for maritime boarding actions and tactics. VBSS teams are designed to capture enemy vessels, combat terrorism, piracy, and smuggling, and to conduct customs, safety and other inspections.
