Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

I believe they have a contract for the first 4 CSC's. At least I seem to remember something along those lines.

No they don't, I believe long lead items for the first three have been ordered so its fair to say we'll get at least three. Future flights will four ships.

i think the initial 4 is including the stone frigate? Are the rest of the flights 4 as well? Makes sense numbers wise I guess
3 + 1,4,4,4

so Ottawa hasn't actually signed a start building contract. So either they are in no hurry to initiate acquisition or the design isn't mature enough to contract for construction.

If long lead items have been ordered, I would think a contract is in place?

it wasnt for the AOR/JSS

So was the order placed by the government or the shipyard?

Makes sense that a set of Combat gear will be installed in HMCS Assiniboine.

The ships, absolutely. The crews? Not so much.

They are an interesting collection.

A nice historical look at our Iroquois Class Destroyers. Interesting that the River Class will be 3,000 tons heavier than these Destroyers.

We've been working with one of these a lot. Seems impressive.

Interesting capability. Ironically, the one thing I find somewhat out of place for a Euro/Navatia build is the choice of Cat 3616s as the cruise engine, and not a European brand. Maybe - condition to get AEGIS and the SPY-1?
