Yup.  We even have twelve of them.  The Halifax class is actually one of the
most advanced frigate types in the world.

We primarily use them to shoot salmon poachers from Spain though.

Well, Spain *does* have warships. They even have an Aircraft Carrier! Honest!

  (Also:  Are salmon poachers really that well-armed?)

Dunno about them, but cod fishers are known to have almost started wars both
