Hopefully the CSC will again at least ameliorate that problem.
One problem that puzzles me is having the CPFs change coasts where the environment calls for far less salt and has less salt in the air.

200 SM-2 IIIc is a good start. Also the Sea Ceptor order for an undisclosed amount. We’ll get there. Sigh.
One thing I will commend the grits for is making a plan and sticking to it. We might not agree with their priorities but there we go...
Sorry about my previous quote and the past some other ones. I have aphasia and words come out not as planned. I can read it 10 minutes and it still looks normal. So I apologize in advanced for unintentionally jerk-ish.
The Monkey one I regret still.
You’re right, that was uncalled for and I apologize unreservedly. And thank you for the missing piece of why ships are corroding to badly. Hopefully the CSC will take measures to mitigate this problem.
FYI, I’m a retired 1st class engineer (transport Canada), just so you know point of view, and I assume that most people aren’t idiots. And in the BC Ferry service we had a highly motivated, intelligent group.
About the hull itself. If there is significant corrosion in the hull, it was designed by monkeys, or built and maintained by untrained idiots. Having said that, I agree with you.
Ferry runs every for 52 years through the high seas every day. Frigates don’tt do that. Structurally they fine The problem isn’t time but spare parts and hopefully not some piss poor fire procedures and training.
Our frigates are fine. They’re ridden hard but less so than the American or British. They receive regular maintenance, including dry dock. They just look like crap. Ferries ride through horrifying seas for fifty years and don’t have their keels weaken.
The CCG Harry Dewolf class were never ordered. They’re planned. That’s a huge difference. COVID 19 also slowed down the progress of the AOPS so there is that.
