Continental Defence Corvette

So... we're going with 3 River-Class Destroyers and 12 GMF 140 up-gunned frigates?

lol, playing Devils Advocate are you?

I truly hope that we don’t reinvent our Navy from 1996 here in 2036 with 3 Rivers, 12 of these ‘CDC’s’, 2 JSS and new Type 212CD’s.

maybe we dont end up with 15 RCD and only 12 as replacements for the Halifax? Short production runs arent great. I doubt the RCN or Irving will be in favour of moving off the RCD

But, why would we?

It is basically the same capability as a RCD with most of the same gear.

Why would we completely change gears?

New commander, new direction, round tradition.

12 Rivers, 18 CDC's, 4 JSS and 9-12 Type 212CD's = ok.

6 Rivers, 12 CDC's 2 JSS and 4-5 Type 212 CD's = not ok.

you point out a fact that many are no doubt concerned about going forward is that ideas and plans arent orders.

You need to manage your expectations. I personally think we'll get 15 River Class, 2 JSS and probably 5 to 8 CDC with probably 4 to 6 subs.

have to run a poll on what we want vs what we think we will end up with-Future of the RCN

Would you rather see 3 less Rivers but 2-3 more CDC’s and 2-3 more subs?

Can you ask again in 10 years? 2036?

the level at which the Germans commit to spending money in Canada will govern the number of 212CD you get. They have made a huge initial commitment, if we try to renege on it we will definitely be assigned seats at the back of the bus if they even allow us to board in the first place.

We haven't even signed a contract yet. Given what we've done with the River Class having signed a contract for 3 and possibly 6 and 6 in two more flights we could walk away if we want anytime. I suspect we'll sign a contract for 4 subs with the understanding we'll sign more contracts later, just like what we did for the F-35. If Germany wants to screw us over we'll go back to the Koreans.
