Interesting to note Norway will get its first T26 before we have our first river
Norway chooses the type 26 built in the UK. BAE is going to be busy

Mostly because Norway is robbing UK Type 26's directly off the production line with basically no changes from what it looks like, so the UK will be in for some further hard times with their already busted Type 23 fleet.Interesting to note Norway will get its first T26 before we have our first river
But the Bermudian banks holding the Irving fortune are getting theirs, and isn't that what really matters?Interesting to note Norway will get its first T26 before we have our first river

I always thought the Brits would have to build more Type 31's than the 5 Planned to replace their River's and flesh out the escort fleet. Hot production and all that. They may get those 5 Type 31's before they get all 8 Type 26.Mostly because Norway is robbing UK Type 26's directly off the production line with basically no changes from what it looks like, so the UK will be in for some further hard times with their already busted Type 23 fleet.

Norway’s electricity crisis is about to hit Britain
European countries like the UK have become too reliant on cheap hydro from Scandinaviawww.telegraph.co.uk
Norway has made a fortune exporting both hydrocarbons and electricity to Europe. This is just rebalancing the books a bit.
Meanwhile, as BC and MB are discovering, hydro is not eternal.
So if the output had been lower than projected, would the municipalities willingly accepted less? If the original compensation deal wasn't based on output, why should it now?And Site C is producing 130MW more than forecast, it seems
More like a whirlpool…I always enjoyed the rumour of a swimming pool down on 7 Deck

They were also intended to be a modular platform for export, and I love that the Polish will be getting some called the 'Wicher' class, which I'm going to just assume is the Witcher class and they'll have names like 'White Wolf'. It was supposed to be a cheap and cheerful warship with good capabilities but limited combat recoverability (which keeps the capitol cost down) but not sure how the actual design ended up.The plan has always been that they would get the type 31's in full well before they get all the type 26. The type 31 were acquired in order to maintain numbers of frigates and cover the retirement of Type 23's in the meantime (i.e. until all 26's come on line), after which they are to decide if they build more type 26 (Batch 3, by then) or move on to a new type altogether.
Speaking if corvettes, Davie apparently has a proposed design for a corvette with near arctic capabilities, but I can’t find anything other than a vague graphic shown in this video at 1:36 …Which is one of the reason I theorized at some point that Canada might want to get a few, in order to cover the gap between the self-retiring HAL's and full replacement by of RCD's. Depending on speed and production, this may now get covered by the proposed corvettes.
The corvettes seem very far off, especially with a lot of the talk about them being domestically built with large percentages of Canadian equipment. With how many foreign orders are coming down the pipe seemingly for the Type 31, it seems doubtful that we'd be able to procure any before the Rivers end up coming online anyway.Which is one of the reason I theorized at some point that Canada might want to get a few, in order to cover the gap between the self-retiring HAL's and full replacement by of RCD's.

Davie is much better at self promotion then their track record would support.Speaking if corvettes, Davie apparently has a proposed design for a corvette with near arctic capabilities, but I can’t find anything other than a vague graphic shown in this video at 1:36 …

Aside from corvettes, destroyers, subs and the like, is it possible we’re running too thin with just 2 supply ships?The corvettes seem very far off, especially with a lot of the talk about them being domestically built with large percentages of Canadian equipment.

True enough.And somebody's kid once photoshopped an ADATS turret on to a LAV. Image does not equal plausible design.
