Continental Defence Corvette

[Colin Parkinson]

AOPS carry around 50000 liters of JP5. Hfx Class around 60.

What? You don't like having drums of Jet B lashed to your deck?

Okay, not a naval expert, but could you use underwater sensors and XLUUV/UUV to detect foreign submarines and communicate that info to the CDC's?

Yup. It is called “data link”.

And what does the CDC do with that information if it has no ASW helicopter to attack the submarine? ASROC? Do you want to get that close to the sub? P-8? Might be an option off the coast of Vancouver Island or the Gulf of St-Lawrence, but what would be the response time to get up to the ice edge? Or is the plan to provide persistent top cover to the CDC's up there?

We don’t know. I don’t think CRCN knows, even though the whole thing is his idea.
We don’t and won’t have a big enough navy to build single purpose or limited purpose combatants.

does it need to go underwater? Could it be an unmanned surface vessel?

No. Yes.

Calls for help from someone or thing that can carry out the kill , and steers the hell away from the threat in the meantime.
