PARTICULARLY THEM!!!

It seems someone is trying to take all the shortcomings of the unarmed AOPS, do some ice, coastal, and overseas work, add the requirements of replacing the MCDVs capabilities, throw in some speed, some long range and endurance, but try to run it all within a 100m vessel with a staff of under 50 pers. Seems highly unlikely to stuff it into one hull. Seems like 2 or 3 different vessels but then again what do I know?

Welcome to Canada. Land of the all-singing, all-dancing ship and where perfect is the enemy of good-enough.

How do you come to that conclusion?

Ice strengthened hull is not nearly the same as an ice breaker. The MCDV roles are being spread across the AOPVs and the plan to contract civilian OSVs.

Endurance, speed, and range aren't particularly crew intensive, unless you run the ships like a ship built in the 1990s, like our CPFs...

In conclusion, the RCN already plans to use two other ship types to pick up some of the roles of the MCDVs, and the CDC will pick up a new role that the MCDVs never had.
