CCGS Teleost
Canadian Coast Guard offshore fishery science vessel
CCGS Teleost is a Canadian Coast Guard fisheries research vessel. The ship was originally constructed in Norway in 1988 as a commercial fishing trawler named Atlantic Champion. In 1993, the Canadian government purchased the vessel and after a competition among schoolchildren, the vessel was named Teleost by the winner. The vessel was converted to an offshore fisheries research vessel in 1994–1995 and entered service in 1996 with the Canadian Coast Guard. The ship is currently in active service.
Design and description
Teleost is of a large commercial stern fishing trawler design. The vessel is 63 m (206 ft 8 in) long overall with a beam of 14.2 m (46 ft 7 in) and a draught of 7.2 m (23 ft 7 in). The vessel is powered by one Caterpillar 3612 geared diesel engine driving one controllable-pitch propeller, creating 4,000 brake horsepower (3,000 kW). The ship is also equipped with two emergency generators; one Caterpillar 3303 and one Caterpillar 3512. This gives the vessel a maximum speed of 13.5 knots (25.0 km/h).

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
