Suggestion, get Seaspan to build half a dozen more JSS and keep a couple while leasing out the rest to Federal Fleet Services to support the RN and JEF.

(Dear autocorrect, I meant navies, not babies.
But good one.)

Users would be well advised in reading all of the contracts fine prints. It is the company that owns and operate Asterix we are talking about here. As the company says in the release, "it has experience in that field", but so does the government of Canada by now.
