I think ours is going to be more in line with Australian version with 32 cells of Mk 41 VLS.  This would allow the ship to have 32 ESSM for point and 24 Standard missiles for area air defence(I think that 32 cell strike Mk 41 and an 8 cell self-defence Mk 41 cells would be better allowing for 32...

I'm pretty certain we will not being going with Sea Ceptor as we are part of the Sea Sparrow Project and have been for decades.  Block 2 ESSM just did test firings down in Port Hueneme last summer and we've already put money into it.  Block 2 adds an active seeker to replace the semi-active one...

So Australia went Type 26.  Let's hope we follow suit.  The BAe Type 26 is paired with Lockheed Martin so they should have a leg up due to CMS 330.  However dumb things have happened in procurement before.  The RCN unfortunately probably has no real say in the final design selection.  It'll be...

Chicoutimi is in drydock.  Soon Victoria will be going into EDWP.

Click the link that I put there.  It's a remotely operated system.  It's similar to the Typhoon RWS.

From the handouts from the presentation on the AOPS I went to it looks like a BAE Systems Mk 38 25-mm Chain Gun (Bushmaster. Same as the LAV III) and some Browning 0.50 HMGs.  Disappointing as I figured they'd arm it with a Bofors 57-mm to keep commonality with the CPFs.  It is also a far more...
