It was purchased by Federal Fleet Services as part of Project Resolve, and was later converted into a supply ship for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN).

[12] The vessel is limited in her deployment to enter dangerous areas due to her lack of weapons systems and military-grade radars, and inability to survive combat damage.

That same year the ship was renamed again to Neermoor, operating under an Antigua and Barbuda flag while owned by Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co KG.

[18] In September 2015, it was announced that L-3 MAPPS (a subsidiary of L-3 Communications) was selected as partner in the conversion for its Integrated Platform Management System.

[21] On 30 November 2015, the government reversed that decision and gave final approval for the project, allowing Davie to go ahead with the conversion.

[23] On 20 July 2017 Davie Shipbuilding unveiled Asterix in a public ceremony with the traditional breaking of a bottle of champagne.

[25] The vessel arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia on 27 December 2017 to embark naval complement to begin training in January 2018.

[27] The vessel completed sea trials and was formally accepted into service with the Royal Canadian Navy in January 2018.

The ship has a double hull,[29] a feature that the previous Protecteur class did not have and prevented them from operating outside of international waters.

[34] In 2023, Federal Fleet Services acquired and installed a pioneering multi-domain command-and-control system to detect, monitor and intercept aerial and surface threats.

[44] In August 2020, Asterix was deployed to the Arctic as part of Operation Nanook along with Glace Bay and Ville de Québec from the Royal Canadian Navy and warships from the Danish, French, U.S.

[47] On 26 March 2023, Asterix and the frigate Montréal left Halifax on a deployment to the South China Sea and the Indo-Pacific region.

[49] In mid 2024, Asterix took part in the multi-national exercise RIMPAC 2024 along with the offshore patrol vessel Max Bernays and the frigate Vancouver.
