Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

Australia has sort of integrated Saab's 9LV system with Aegis already. I don't think the Hobarts have Aegis light, its a full meal deal there. I'm not entirely sure if the F-110's have an Aegis Light version, if so this is the first I've heard about it.

Some of LocMarts comments seem to suggest that non 5Y don’t get a full Aegis build. So the Aussies should while Spain then wouldn’t.

But I’m not in any position to know what that means, as Japan seems to have have the full system.

Hartlen Point? I thought that was Assiniboine, but I haven't been paying much attention to that, so it's possible it's now Athabaskan?

Corrected above.

4 ships and then another 4 ships and then another 4 ships....

And concurrently 8 small ships and 8 small ships and 8 small ships....

And concurrently 2 subs and 2 subs and 2 subs ...

5 to 7 year intervals.

If there's a need to fill some gaps then limited builds such as a hydrographic survey ship for the arctic and 2 or 3 smaller LHD ice capable ships able to move vehicle and rotary assets are surely lacking.

The country that does that like clock work since the 1990's is called Japan. To my knowledge nobody else on the Western side of the equation does that anymore (maybe Italy), but 100 percent this is the way to go. But the Canadian government and the RCN itself would find a way to make that the most stratospherically expensive, soul defeating exercise in world shipbuilding history.
