That was the plan with the project already, take them with the weapons and sensors that the build country is already using, the only canadianization would be the crypto suite.

That was probably my favorite deployment to date.

The ship hasn't actually launch yet, Friday was just the naming ceremony and the actual float off launch will happen later this week.

There might but it is going to happen in the middle of the night / early morning.

A bunch of Preserver's blocks are sitting next to her waiting to be moved over.

HMCS Kootenay rounded Cape Horn in 1995 during her UNITAS deployment but that was as close to Antarctica as the RCN has come I believe. That was probably one of my favorite deployments on my favorite skimmer. We had 5 more days along side then we did at sea in total.

That is one of the possible candidates on the list that the project office is looking at.
