The Canadian military is investigating after a master sailor from Manitoba is believed to have accidentally fallen overboard.

Duane Earle, of Winnipeg, went missing while deployed on HMCS Winnipeg.

A government news release says Duane Earle is thought to have accidentally fallen overboard in the Pacific while the ship was west of San Francisco.

It says the master sailor wasn't identified as missing until later Monday and the ship turned back to begin a search.

At his Ottawa news conference this morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said every resource is being dedicated to the search.

Earle is believed to have accidentally fallen overboard while the ship was west of San Francisco en route back to Esquimalt, BC, after being deployed to the Asia-Pacific region.
