New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

[Kirkhill]

Meanwhile....

keep the navy (US) out of shipbuilding.

‘Stop trying to control every step’ of shipbuilding, senator tells Navy

Focus less on requirements and more on outcomes, says Montana’s Sheehy, and the entire Pentagon might get on board.

Yes. Montana, of course, is known as a hotbed of shipbuilding.

I think only Russian submarine X.O.'s would have liked to see it.

My numbers include the Martha L. Black-class which while they do work on the Lakes, are much larger than any USCG counterpart vessels and are also extensively used in the Atlantic while also having been sent to the Arctic before as well.

Much of the USCG Lakes fleet is made up of smaller ice strengthened buoy tenders that have much less capability than our own, larger vessels. They have something like 30~ of these ships all together, but they don't have the use cases outside the lakes that we require. Canada has up to 16 Multi-Purpose Icebreakers on order with Seaspan, alongside 6 Mid-shore multi-mission vessels (TBD yard) for coastal lakes work and 6 large Program icebreakers (Davie) as well. There isn't any plans for buy a bunch of smaller vessels like the US does, so they can respectfully pound sand on their complaints.

I would also suggest that the 4 “light” icebreakers of the current MEMTV (RISLEY/GREY/BARTLETT/LAMARSH) should be counted
