With the proper combination of decoys, manoeuvre and speed...most definitely.

Speed, although important in Anti-Ship Missile Defence(ASMD) in order to displace the ship from the decoys/chaff, it is absolutely critical is Torpedo Counter Measures (TCM) manoeuvres.  A missile is a damage control problem...a torpedo is a survival problem.

The plan is to have 4 based in Halifax and 2 in Esquimalt...but that could change!  A lot is dependant on a jetty recapitalization project of A and B jettys in Esquimalt.  If that doesn't go through then odds are they will stay East.  Attached is the AOPS fact sheet.

Everyone has focused on the helicopter, strictly from an airborne platform point of view.  Has anyone thought that maybe the Navy has invested billions of dollars in upgrading the frigates and in planning new ships all based on the Cyclone aircraft.  They have gone and redesigned the frigates to...
