Continental Defence Corvette

[Colin Parkinson]

It would be nice to be able to send a team to visit some of these new ships and get to see them during ops and help gather information on what sort of things are what we may want in the CDC, that have already been done before either well or badly.

 

[Underway]

Will it be a challenge to get 27+ on the CDC with a Polar Class of 5 or 6?

I think CDC will aim for 25 knots but now that there is light frigate talk that may no longer be the case. The polar class they want is just ice resistance. There won't be a hull form change just a hull steel change for that. And perhaps some changes to the shaftline and propellers.

They don't want to go through ice per say, they just want to be able to work near ice and not worry so much.

Maybe first year St. Laurence thickness.
